Sen. Reed on If Will Give Trump Credit If the Iran Goals Are Achieved: ‘The Regime Is Much More Militant,’ Demonstrated They Can Choke Off Oil

RUSH EXCERPT:REED: "Well, long-term I hope it comes together frankly because it’s in the interest of the United States and of the whole world but we’re in a situation now that, in order to negotiate an agreement, we have to give something to get something. The question is what is the president willing to give up. What are the Iranians willing to accept. And they’re now in a better position than they were, ironically, several months ago, for many factors. One, the regime is much more militant, hardened and committed to resisting. Two, they’ve demonstrated to the world they can choke off oil coming out of the Strait of Hormuz. They have leverage worldwide now. They are also, I think, in a situation where their nuclear facilities are very difficult to disrupt, destroy, and I don’t think they’re going to just gladly sort of give off their nuclear potential. We have to have an agreement. If we could get back the jcpoa, and I don’t think we can, that would be a huge success for the president."
