Opinion: Joe Biden: There's a smarter way to be tough on Iran
Sep 13, 2020 1 min, 8 secs

This past month has proven that Trump's Iran policy is a dangerous failure.

Next, Trump tried to unilaterally reimpose UN sanctions on Iran, only to have virtually all the UN security council members unite to reject his gambit.

He ignored our closest allies and walked away -- alone, without a plan -- from a deal that put the world's eyes and ears inside Iran's nuclear program and was verifiably blocking Iran's pathways to a nuclear weapon.

He has repeatedly ratcheted up tensions, risking bringing us closer to another Middle Eastern war without a realistic strategy or endgame.

The bottom line is that Iran is closer to a nuclear bomb today than it was when Donald Trump took office.

Five years ago, even Russia and China stood with our European allies behind an American-led approach to Iran's nuclear program.

This mix of confrontation and isolation will leave us with the worst of both worlds: no arms embargo or snapback of UN sanctions, but also no deal to constrain Iran's nuclear program -- and no plan except to recklessly double down.

Since Trump took office, Iran or its proxies have killed two American service members and a US contractor, severely injured more than 100 US troops, damaged Saudi oil facilities and disabled commercial ships transiting the Gulf.

Before Trump, years went by without a militia rocket attack on US facilities in Iraq.
