FRIENDSHIP HEIGHTS, MD – Presidential candidate John Delaney releases the following statement:
“Withdrawing from the Iran agreement, alienating our allies, and ramping up the pressure on Iran without a clear strategy has created an inherently dangerous situation in the region and is a foreign policy failure by the Trump administration. Make no mistake about it, Iran is a horrible actor – they sponsor terror, undermine the interest of the U.S. and our allies, and work to actively destabilize the Middle East. If they shot down a U.S. asset over international territory, they must be held accountable.
“We need a President with a strong and stable hand and strategic approach; we should not contribute mindlessly to conditions which could spark a crisis, put the extraordinary men and women of the U.S. military at risk, and undermine the interests of the citizens of the United States.”
