What Have Candidates Said about Iran?

I would like to hear the candidates speak out against Trump's saber rattling toward Iran. Loudly! Have I missed some of them?

Now is the time to hear from them! I would not vote for a candidate that will ignore this issue.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

Pete Buttigieg has slammed Donald Trump and his administration for potentially leading the United States into yet another protracted war in the Middle East, claiming the tactic he sees coming from the West Wing mirrors the approach that brought the US into the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

The warning comes just as the White House has reportedly considered sending some 10,000 troops for a potential conflict with Iran, which Mr Buttigieg said on Wednesday night in New York is “terrifying” because “this White House and this administration has not hesitated to use troops as props.”

Just the next morning, Mr Buttigieg repeated the warning, noting that national security adviser John Bolton was serving the White House when the United States went to war in Iraq on the false premise of securing weapons of mass destruction
