- 9 years ago
In the US the nuclear deal with Iran has become a presidential election issue with candidates from both parties taking a stand on the matter.
Democrat front runner Hillary Clinton laid the groundwork for the deal as Secretary of State.
Speaking at the Brookings Institute, a liberal think-tank, she had this warning for Tehran.
“The United States will never allow you to acquire a nuclear weapon. As president I will take whatever actions are necessary to protect the United States and our allies. I will not hesitate to take military action”, Clinton told her audience.
Speaking to euronews at a rally on Capitol Hill against the Iran deal, Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump criticised other signatories to the deal for doing business with Iran before sanctions have been lifted.
“You look at Russia, you look at some of the other countries, they’re selling missiles, they’re selling nuclear they’re selling all sorts of things. We’re not selling anything”, Trump claimed
