Republican Rep. Michael Waltz of Florida blasted President Joe Biden over his foreign policy on Saturday after Iran launched drones toward Israel.
Iran launched unmanned aerial vehicles towards Israel late Saturday, less than two weeks after an Israeli airstrike killed a top officer in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps in Damascus, Syria. Waltz ripped Biden’s handling of Iran, accusing the president of giving Iran “room to push” with his policy of “de-escalation.”
“There is no other way to describe the Obama-Biden Middle East policy except as a dangerous disaster,” Waltz told Fox News host Jon Scott. “I mean, this is an utter calamity. Just a few years ago, under President Trump, ISIS was destroyed, Iran was broke and on their back foot and we had the Abraham Accords, and look where we are now.”
