Mike Pence scorches Trump's embattled Iran deal on CNN: 'Much bigger than a mistake'
Former Vice President Mike Pence joined the chorus of concern by turning against President Donald Trump's murky Iran war deal.During an appearance on CNN with Kaitlan Collins, Pence spoke about the deal, which is already being attacked by GOP senators and experts alike, and described it as much bigger than a mistake.Pence decried that Trump gave a lifeline to Iran based on what he's heard about the deal so far. The details of the deal still haven't been publicly released, but Pence was concerned by what he's already heard.My concern is what appears to be leaking out, Pence explained. These immediate concessions, particularly sanctions waivers right out of the gate. That would essentially be a lifeline to the Iranian regime.Pence described waivers for sanctions against Iran as ill-advised, and said, We ought to keep the pressure on, keep the blockade on and, if need be, let our armed forces get back to work.When asked whether unfreezing Iran's assets is a defensible move, Pence said that whether it's a defensible position or not, it is the wrong position, and made it clear he doesn't agree with the decision to throw a lifeline to the Iranian regime when they are weaker and more isolated than they have ever been in history.
