    I wouldn’t use a Fox News screenshot as any form of reference. Here’s his statement:

    “But again, the point is it — it’s Iran that is at the heart of this and their proxies that bring disruption throughout the region,” Walz added. “That’s why being in the Situation Room, as the vice president was working with the Israelis to repel the attack we saw this week, they tried it back in April, the same thing. And that’s the point of being and boxing Iran in,” he said, arguing Trump allowed Iran to get closer to having nuclear weapons by pulling the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal.

      Even that Politico rag don’t believe him (“Walz downplays past false statements in rare interview” right in the headline) and call him about his turbozionism and this interview only confirmed it, even in your quotation and few next sentences he already speak as US was in open war with Iran

        You’re funny. In the interview, Walz does downplay past false statements saying he stumbled over his words. Do you want people to not admit when they make a mistake?

        Also, the US has been fighting proxy wars with Iran for a long time. This isn’t new information. Iran isn’t exactly our friend.
