Byron York says US and Iran are between war and peace
Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York spoke on the Hugh Hewitt Show Tuesday about the Iran war, saying, “I think we’re in something in the middle between war and peace with Iran.”
TL;DR
- The U.S. and Iran are in a state between war and peace.
- The current ceasefire lasted longer than the war itself.
- President Biden does not want to resume full-scale hostilities, but negotiations have flaws.
- It's uncertain if Iran would agree to give up enriched uranium, even with further pressure.
- The U.S. administration's 'no-dust, no-dollars' stance means no settlement without Iran turning over enriched uranium.
- Iran has historically claimed it does not want a nuclear program.
- The U.S. entering a war with a single ally with differing interests is considered a mistake.
- The situation in Lebanon is a complicating factor, and Israel has the right to act in Lebanon.
