House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff is slamming the Trump administration for its position on Iran, but just a few years ago, he took a different position on the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism.
During an interview on CBS' Face the Nation Sunday, Schiff accused President Trump of escalating tensions with Iran, despite the Islamic regime's continued funding of terror and recent movement of missiles to target American assets in the Middle East.Trump has taken a series of steps to deliberately escalate tensions with Iran.
The state run Tehran Times is quite pleased with Schiff blaming of the United States for Iran's continued aggression.
Schiff criticized the steps taken by the Trump administration "To renege on the Iran agreement, to try to force Europe to renege on the Iran agreement, to try to force Iran to withdraw from the agreement to go back to the path of enrichment, the designation of the IRGC as a terrorist group, the belligerent rhetoric from the administration from Pompeo, from Bolton."
Back in 2015, Schiff argued the Obama administration should be tougher on Iran and said force should be used if they failed to comply with the nuclear agreement.
"First, we should make it clear that if Iran cheats, the repercussions will be severe. Second, we should continue to strengthen our intelligence capabilities to detect any form of Iranian noncompliance. Third, we should establish the expectation that while Iran will be permitted to have an enrichment capability for civilian use, it will never be permitted to produce highly enriched uranium, and if it attempts to do so, it will be stopped with force."
Iran has been at war with the U.S for decades and continues its aggression toward Americans and their allies.
