Obama: We have no illusions about Iran’s support for terror
Obama: “We have no illusions about the Iranian government or the significance of the Revolutionary Guards, the Quds Force. Iran supports terrorist organizations like Hezbollah, [supports] groups including those that have killed our troops in Iraq.”
“But they engaged in these activities for decades. Before sanctions, and while sanctions were in place. They even engaged in them during the Iran-Iraq War, which cost them a million lives. The truth is Iran has always found a way to fund these efforts.”
“Whatever benefit they may gain by sanctions relief, it pales in comparison than what it could do with a nuclear weapon.”
