Vice President Kamala Harris is Iran's “Ayatollah's hand-picked candidate,” according to Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, who calls for the removal of “all of Hezbollah's leadership,” while the U.S. The region's terrorist proxies argued that “Israel must win” against the keys to Tehran.
In an interview with CBS News Let's face the nation Cotton, who serves on the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence Committees, on Sunday voiced strong opposition to any ceasefire or de-escalation efforts in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
He noted that Israel had dealt a “huge blow” to Hezbollah's leadership and argued that now is the time for the United States to help Israel completely neutralize the group's remaining capabilities.
Pointing to Hezbollah's vast arsenal of more than 100,000 rockets, missiles and mortars aimed at Israel, he said: “Is Israel escalating the war so much that it wants to end it?'' I don't know,” he said. He added that recent Israeli airstrikes, including the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, “destroyed Hezbollah's entire leadership structure.”
Cotton argued that destroying Hezbollah's leadership and military capabilities would leave Iran vulnerable, and stressed that the United States should support Israel in the complete dismantling of Hezbollah.
“Iran took advantage of [Hezbollah’s] “It's a threat that has deterred Israel for years…This is not the time for the ceasefire or detente that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would like,” he continued, adding that Hezbollah is “giving in.” pointed out.
“The United States should help Israel drive Hezbollah to the mat, suffocate it, and end it once and for all,” he added, arguing that “we should let Israel win.”
Asked whether he supported a possible Israeli ground invasion of Lebanon, Cotton said he would support such action if necessary to destroy Hezbollah's remaining forces.
“If that is what Israel has to do to eliminate the remnants of the Hezbollah leadership and its arsenal, then of course so,” he replied. Cotton emphasized the importance of eliminating Hezbollah's military infrastructure to prevent future threats, saying, “Just as we need to eliminate all weapons, we also need to eliminate all Hezbollah leadership.” There is,” he added.
Cotton also criticized the Biden administration's response to Iranian aggression, particularly in Yemen and the Red Sea, arguing that it left American sailors vulnerable to Iranian-backed forces.
Just as the United States needs to be more forceful in attacking Iran's terrorist forces in Yemen, where Joe Biden and Kamala Harris need to force our sailors to sit duckling in the Red Sea for months. I've been letting it rest as if I were doing it. Once we finish clearing out all these terrorists, it will mean that Iran will once again be fully exposed and can no longer threaten Israel, the United States, and our friends across the region. That's why we need to fully support Israel and let it win, instead of continuing to make reckless demands for a ceasefire and detente, as Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have done over the past year. Noda.
He described the approach of President Biden and Vice President Harris as appeasement, noting that “from the moment Joe Biden and Kamala Harris arrived in the White House, there was a threat against the American people.” He called for a stronger response.
“Iran and its proxies have attacked our military more than 100 times, and our country has rarely fought back. The attacks against us continue,” he explained. “Again, just as we support Israel in fighting back against these terrorists, we should fight back even stronger.”
He also criticized the Biden administration's failure in its approach to Iran.
“But that's the policy of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. From the beginning, they've been placating and placating the ayatollahs,” he said. “For example, Kamala Harris opposed Donald Trump's attack that killed the Iranian terror mastermind.” [Qasem Soleimani] In 2020. ”
He also accused the Biden administration of enabling Iran's actions.
“Over the past four years, they've donated tens of billions of dollars for sanctions relief. They've turned a blind eye as Iran violates sanctions.” “They continue to put more pressure on Israel than Iran's terrorist proxies.”
“That's why Kamala Harris is the Ayatollah's hand-picked candidate, and that's why the Ayatollah is trying to hack Donald Trump's campaign and kill him,” he added.
This problem comes after President Biden called Another ceasefire took place in Lebanon on Saturday evening, hours after Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was confirmed dead.
