Iran was broke and weakened under Trump — but that’s not how Nancy Pelosi remembers it…
During a recent sitdown with CNN’s Dana Bash, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi raised eyebrows when she claimed Iran is stronger because of the “failed policy of Donald Trump.”
Pelosi said, “We want to avoid a bigger war. As you know, full well, that masterfully President Obama had a plan to reduce the capacity of the Iranians to produce a nuclear weapon. The next president in line, he came in and eliminated that unfortunately, because now Iran is on a path again for enriching uranium or fully taking it closer to having the capacity for a weapon.”
She continued, “I don’t know how close they are to that and if I did, I wouldn’t say. So again, we want to avoid a bigger war. We do know that Hezbollah and Hamas are proxies for Iran. They are the troublemakers in the region. The fact that Israel was attacked with 200 ballistic missiles coming into Israel, thank God without any major effects shows they must be stopped. But I don’t think we should get into that with an open discussion now, as to how we deal with their nuclear. Again we had a plan to do that. I think that there are other countries as we had said before, who have worked together to do that. But the reason that they are in the strong position they are today nuclear-wise is because of the failed policy of Donald Trump.”
Fox News host Mark Levin shared the story on X: “Shut up, nasty old buffoon,” he said.

Vice presidential candidate Tim Walz tried to make a similar claim about Trump and Iran during the recent vice presidential debate, ignoring the fact that it was the Biden-Harris Administration that unfroze billions for the Iranian regime.
