Senator Kennedy Claims Iran Was Building Missiles to Threaten Nuclear Restart
Theo Von
#666 - Sen. John Kennedy
"Our intelligence showed that Iran was building up its missile capacity, both ballistic and cruise, and they were going to compile so many missiles and drones that they were going to turn to America and Israel and say, 'We're restarting our nuclear weapons program.' And if you try to stop us, we're going to destroy the rest of the Middle East."
Louisiana Senator John Kennedy revealed classified intelligence briefings he received showing Iran's plan to amass enough missiles to shield its nuclear program from interference. Kennedy stated he was briefed in secure Senate facilities by Secretary Rubio, Defense Secretary Hadseth, and CIA Director Ratcliffe. He defended President Trump's strikes on Iran, saying the alternative was allowing Iran to threaten the entire Middle East and potentially reach European capitals.
