CAIR: Pentagon Signals US Won’t Strike Iran as Trump Summons National Security Council – Newsweek

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, America’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, criticized Trump’s call for everyone to evacuate Tehran, saying in a statement sent to Newsweek: “President Trump is repeating the same mistakes of President George W. Bush. Just like Iraq did not have and was not pursuing weapons of mass destruction, Iran does not have and was not pursuing a nuclear weapon. Everyone knows this, and Trump’s own Director of National Intelligence just reaffirmed it to Congress.”

CAIR added: “President Trump could have easily signed a new deal with Iran limiting it to low, civilian-use levels of enrichment and extreme monitoring that would have made pursuing a weapon impossible. Instead, under pressure from [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and pro-Israel war mongers, Trump insisted on the poison pill ‘zero enrichment’ requirement that Iran was never going to accept.”
