Obama further alleged that the war has also given Tehran leverage over the Strait of Hormuz. “How is this war going? Our allies and bases have been attacked. Americans have been killed. “I didn’t have to fire any missiles. He argued that the deal had curbed Iran’s nuclear activities. “I’ve done it very effectively and I may have to finish it off, or maybe they’ll make a deal, but I’m not sure. Obama, campaigning for Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, who faces Republican Representative Mike Collins in Georgia, also framed the midterm contest as a question of American values.
He has also challenged Trump’s rationale for military action, arguing that diplomacy had previously constrained Tehran’s nuclear programme.
