Fmr. Deputy National Security Advisor Warns Trump Rhetoric Risks Iran Talks

While the Iran ceasefire remains intact despite recent exchanges of fire, Former Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes warned it could unravel if tit-for-tat strikes escalate or hardliners on either side gain the upper hand. He argued to hosts of Bloomberg This Weekend David Gura and Christina Ruffini that President Donald Trump's public threats and rhetoric risk undermining negotiations by strengthening Iranian hardliners and making it harder for negotiators to secure a nuclear agreement.
