Algemeiner: Kerry: Israel, Egypt, Saudis Pushed US to Bomb Iran Before Nuclear Deal
Former US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Tuesday that Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia encouraged the US to “bomb Iran” before the 2015 nuclear deal was brokered by the Obama administration and other world powers.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was “genuinely agitating towards action” before the deal was finalized, said Kerry at the Ignatius Forum in Washington DC.
Kerry also stated that during his tenure as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Saudi King Abdullah, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Netanyahu all pushed for military action against Iran.
“Each of them said to me, you have to bomb Iran, it’s the only thing they are going to understand,” said Kerry.
