Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) said in the GOP’s weekly address that Iran is “not a credible player” and the impending sanctions relief will only increase its ability to “sponsor the Syrian regime, support Hezbollah and threaten our allies.”
She asserted the United States was left with a bad deal because Obama “operated from a position of concession.”
Senator Capito said in her trip to the Middle East she directly witnessed the concerns of regional leaders regarding Iran. Tehran is not a trustworthy party and the United States should have imposed hasher sanctions to force it to accept a better agreement, she added.
