London – Israel asked the United States to bomb Iran when Barack Obama served as president, former Secretary of State John Kerry said during a conversation he held in London in Chatham House this week about the nuclear threat posed by Tehran.

“Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu was urging President [Barack] Obama to bomb Iran,” Kerry said but did not clarify when that request was made.
“Every leader I met with in the region … [including former Egyptian president Hosni] Mubarak, personally, to my face, said ‘you have to bomb Iran, that is the only thing they understand and that is the only way you will stop them having a nuclear weapon’,” Kerry recalled.
But Kerry expressed his doubts over this widely-shared notion, saying that “Bombing Iran does not necessarily stop them from having a nuclear weapon. It is the same dilemma that we face with North Korea. We do not know where everything is.”
At the time that the nuclear deal was put in place, Iran did not have a nuclear weapon, Kerry continued.
“I guarantee you, once you bomb the country, you have surely [sic] given them a good reason to want to have a weapon,” the ex-Secretary of State asserted.
Oh ….I thought he urged Obama to double the defict ,& then blame Trump !!!
One has to think twice if Kerry would have made this statement without having a basis. Iran has 14,000 Jews living and enjoying relative freedom. Maybe Netanyahu needs another venue
Well, this is not really news. Did you hear the Saudis are encouraging their Israelis allies to attack Lebanon again?
This statement by Kerry so portrays his idiocy. he was truly a disgrace to the country, as was Obama. Let’s pick at a few thing here.
1. The implication is that Bibi was trigger happy, and seeking to endanger American troops to carry out his mission. Stupid. Anyone that minimizes the risk to United States and the rest of the world that would happen if Iran had nukes is lacking basic intellect.
2. The urging was because of the timing. Bombing then could have helped. Now that Obama y”sh granted Iran the green light, under the guise of a deal, the stakes are much different.
3. Every other country told Kerry the same thing. Pointing to Bibi is a negative implication. May Kerry be punished for this.
4. Bombing Iran will make them want a nuke. Is this guy senile or is he developmentally intellectually impaired? Bombing them destroys their ability to create the nukes. It sets them back decades. Let them crave the nukes, and suffer in being unable to satisfy their craving.
5. Kerry is still mouthing off about international politics? His ideas were bad for 4 years. The farther back in history they get buried, the better off we will all be.
So instead the Obamanation and the horse faced mamzer gave iran billions of dollars with which they could fund more murder of Jews, opened them up to trade with the rest of the world, and an eventual nuclear weapon 10/15 years doen the road.
