President Biden’s policy of appeasement and weakness in the Middle East is going to run a very big risk of a much larger war. Let’s be really clear. When we read about the Houthis, for example, trying to set up a blockade of the Red Sea, firing missiles at ships, when we look at Hamas, in the area south of Israel, when we look at Hezbollah, in Lebanon, the area north of Israel, we look at events in Syria, when we see missiles being fired into Iraq to try to kill Americans — all of this is the Iranians.

The Houthis aren’t building their own missiles, they’re getting weapons from Iran. Hezbollah is not a danger by itself, [it’s a] danger because it’s funded, trained and equipped by Iran. The Iranians are in Syria. The Iranians are sponsoring the groups in Iraq that are trying to kill Americans. Basically, the Iranians know that they are in a long, grueling, gray war with Americans. They don’t want it to get too hot.
