John Kerry Former

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry:

Obama was importuned by Netanyahu to join in bombing Iran.

And he asked for clearance by Obama to go ahead and do that.

Obama said no and refused to partake in that, thought it was an enormous mistake.

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Netanyahu:

Taking on Iran in the way in which it has been taken on over the course of these last months has really been a goal of Prime Minister Netanyahu, an aspiration, a wish, if you will, for a long period of time.

And he's spent quite a bit of his career really constantly hammering the Iran card rather than heeding the Oslo Accords or trying to move forward on the peace front.

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry:

We destroyed a plutonium reactor that they were about two weeks from bringing online.

We filled the calandria of that weapon with cement. Could never be used again.

We had cradle-to-grave restrictions on uranium… 130 additional inspectors put on the ground in Iran looking every single day, inspecting at will.

Obama’s former Secretary of State Kerry speaks on President Trump and the Iran war:

“This war did not have to happen and it is dangerous”

Trump didn’t tell the soldiers the goal of this war, the president has failed this test”

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry:

Netanyahu presented the Iran War case to us too.

The response was no.

The prediction was regime change, that people would rise up. None of that happened.

Obama said no. Bush said no. Biden said no.

We were lied to about what that war was about.

The lesson of Vietnam and Iraq is: don’t lie to the American people.

Don’t ask them to send their sons and daughters to fight.

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on the Iran war:

"This war did not have to be fought.

The greatest duty of a president is to look into the eyes of parents of young people you're sending to war.

You must make clear there is a purpose, a clarity, and defined goals.

You must know what you are asking people to sacrifice for.

That did not happen here. This is a failed test of the presidency."

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry:

"Netanyahu presented the Iran War case to us too. The response was no. The prediction was regime change, that people would rise up. None of that happened. Obama said no. Bush said no. Biden said no. We were lied to about what that war was about. The lesson of Vietnam and Iraq is: don't lie to the American people. Don't ask them to send their sons and daughters to fight."

Former Secretary of State John Kerry on Iran: "You will only resolve this through a negotiation. They're not going to surrender. We're obviously not about to. They've got to get to that table."
