"I think that the president is preparing us to defend America's vital national security interests both in that region and here at home. I mean, we cannot abide we cannot tolerate a nuclear Iran. He made that clear in his speech last night. I think that's something I hope, at least, that a big majority of Americans agree with."
"I think the president is pursuing peace through strength by ensuring that America has the right assets in the right places at the right time if necessary. Hopefully it won't be necessary. If the Iranians come to the table, I think there's potentially a deal that could be made there."
Fox News correspondent Aishah Hasnie interviewed Senate Majority Leader John Thune following a classified briefing on Iran given to senators by Trump administration officials. Hasnie referenced concerns from media sources and Democratic Senator Mark Warner about the president's Iran remarks. Thune clarified that the administration aims to prevent a nuclear Iran and protect American interests in the region, emphasizing the president's strategy of peace through strength. He noted that Iranian capabilities to strike regional allies require careful attention. Thune expressed hope that diplomatic negotiations could succeed if Iran comes to the negotiating table, suggesting potential for a deal while maintaining military readiness.
