Nikki Haley: Iran Could Become "the Next North Korea"
(Atlantic) Uri Friedman - U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley told the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington on Tuesday, "We're not going to get Iran to stop [once it acquires nuclear weapons]." "You give literally millions of dollars" in economic relief to Iran "and they don't stop their ballistic-missile testing, they don't stop selling arms, and they continue to support terrorism. I look at [Iran] as the next North Korea. If you continue to fund this, and they continue to do these bad acts, and no one holds them accountable, we one day are going to be talking about Iran the same way we talk about North Korea." "Honestly, the other countries [who were parties to the Iran deal] came to me and said, 'We know. You're right.' But because everybody loves the deal, and their handprints are on it, they have to say it was successful, they were tiptoeing around all of these things. They just don't want to admit they were wrong," even though "they had good intentions."
