"Let's just repeat for a moment the president of United States and his post this morning, that is threatening a war crime that is threatening something genocidal if he follows through with this and perhaps it's just a bluff, perhaps it's a negotiating tactic, perhaps it's an 11th hour push to get the Iranians to the bargaining table."
"We know he is, you know, fond of over-the-top language. He is fond of fire and fury threats and the like. But this, to me is something entirely new."
Jonathan Lemire criticized President Trump's threat against Iran, stating it was genocidal and unprecedented for a U.S. president. Trump warned that a whole civilization would die if the Strait of Hormuz was not opened, expressing a desire for regime change in Iran. Lemire noted the threat could be a bluff or negotiating tactic but emphasized the seriousness of issuing such a warning from the Oval Office. He highlighted the escalation in Trump's rhetoric, which he deemed entirely new and alarming.
