Former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, who was a key player in the George W Bush administration during the War on Terror, has praised President Donald Trump’s decision to launch airstrikes against Iranian nuclear targets in support of Israel’s Operation Rising Lion offensive.
Speaking on Fox News’s Special Report on Thursday, Rice applauded the actions of the U.S. and Israeli military and told anchor Bret Baier: “We will eventually know precisely how much the Iranian program was damaged, but I think all of the evidence is that it was substantially, significantly damaged to the place that, for a while at least, it will be hard to build a nuclear weapon.”
