Alhurra Interviews Rep. Boustany About Iran
Alhurra’s Congressional Correspondent Rana Abtar interviewed Rep. Charles Boustany (R-LA) about the alleged Iranian attempt to assassinate the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the United States. Rep. Boustany stated, “The assassination attempt is a very serious concern. I think countries around the world should be concerned about this type of activity…I think, ultimately to be effective with Iran, we need to put multi-lateral pressure. Just coming from the U.S. will have some impact, but it is not going to be completely effective in trying to change Iranian behavior.”
On the prospect of military action against Iran, Boustany said, “Military action is always something that is part of the options that the U.S. has. But at this stage of the game, I think, the most important thing is to ratchet up multi-lateral pressure. The Chinese, the Russians, the French and others, who have trading relations with Iran, need to understand that Iran is causing trouble.”
