Hillary Clinton Warns Trump Officials That Accountability Is Coming

“We’re going to have to bring in people who actually know something about nuclear weapons,” Clinton said.

Clinton also referenced her past experience dealing with Israeli leadership, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, noting longstanding disagreements over how aggressively to confront Iran. She said U.S. leaders have historically resisted calls for open-ended conflict without a defined objective.

“I had many long conversations… about refusing to go along with actions that had no real end state,” she said.

The White House pushed back forcefully on Clinton’s criticism. In a statement, officials defended the administration’s approach and attacked Clinton’s foreign policy record, particularly her support for the Obama-era nuclear agreement with Iran.
