As President, Scott Walker Would Disown Iran Deal ‘From Day 1’

Scott Walker said he would not accept an Iran nuclear deal from “day one” in office, should he win the White House. The Wisconsin governor answered “absolutely” when asked if he would “disown” any agreement between the U.S. and Iran that allows for uranium enrichment if he wins the presidency in 2016.”

“I mean, to me, it is, the concept of a nuclear Iran is not only problematic for Iran, and certainly for Israel, but it opens the doors. I mean, the Saudis are next,” Walker said as he outlined his foreign policy focus. “You’re going to have plenty of others in the region.

“People forget that even amongst the Islamic world there is no love lost between the Saudis and the Iranians. And so they’re going to want to have a nuclear weapon if the Iranians have a nuclear weapon,” Walker added.

“This is something that just escalates right before our eyes. And the fact that this administration began these discussions essentially conceding that they’re going to allow enrichment to go forward with the Iranians just shows you that they don’t have the same level of concern that I think I and Senator Rubio and many others out there have, that a nuclear Iran is a problem for the entire world, not just for Israel.”

Walker noted what he sees as Obama’s underplaying of global threats as Americans raise growing safety concerns over even traveling to that region of the world. Walker contended, “as they look at this more closely, they see a president whose drawn a line in the sand and crossed it, who called ISIS just a year ago the ‘jayvee squad,’ who called Yemen last fall a success story, who calls Iran now a place where we can do business. Think about how screwed up that is.”

He added: “I remember the movie in the ’80s, “Trading Places” … you know, with Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy, it’s like Iran and Israel are trading places in the sequel. In the eyes of this president, our ally is supposed to be Israel. Our adversary has been historically Iran. And yet this administration completely does it the other way around.

“We need to call radical Islamic terrorism for what it is, and have a commander-in-chief who’s willing to act.”
