‘They want to kill Americans at an even higher rate with ballistic missiles, with nuclear weapons, and that’s not going to be allowed’
By Joe Kovacs
The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee is forecasting U.S. military action in the coming days against Iran, predicting the Islamic Republic will not take an off-ramp proffered by American negotiators including Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.
Appearing on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel, U.S. Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., said: “I expect that No. 1, that diplomacy continues. You have Kushner, you have Witkoff meeting in Geneva trying to offer. Here’s the off-ramp. You have to end nuclear enrichment, you have to end ballistic-missile program, stop having the ayatollah kill your people, stop threatening the United States of America.
“I don’t think they’ll take that off-ramp. I think we end up using the capabilities of our two carrier battle groups that are in the region when that timeline hits to say the treat to America comes to an end. It’s destruction or diplomacy. It’s one or the other, and I think they choose destruction.”
