Tim Walz comes gliding in with the hottest of hot takes about Israel and Iran. You see, according to him, the country best equipped to negotiate peace between the two, because of it’s vaunted moral authority, is… China.

While our readers work on picking their jaws up off the floor, let me point out a few things. Iran, since the 1970’s, has been very clear. Israel is their enemy and must be obliterated. The U.S. is viewed in the very same light, and Iran made that VERY clear when they held Americans hostage for 444 days.

Iran has made it even clearer in the decades since by funding terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah and Hamas. Furthermore, since at least the Obama Administration, Iran has kept the IAEA from monitoring their nuclear facilities. 

The International Atomic Energy Agency declared on Thursday that Iran was not complying with its nuclear nonproliferation obligations, the first time the U.N. watchdog has passed a resolution against the country in 20 years.
