Irak, Afghanistan und Iran


Jeffrey Goldberg: Does Iran pose an existential threat to the United States?

Chuck Wald: Not currently.

Jeffrey Goldberg: Then is it possible to contain a nuclear Iran?

Chuck Wald: Containment policies have zero credibility. What do you contain? How do you contain them? They have surrogates. We are theoretically trying to contain them right now. How do you contain Hezbollah and Hamas? Hillary Clinton said, for example, if you use a nuke on Israel we'll come back and destroy you. Israel said, well, thank you very much. What kind of containment is that?
