Hoenlein to Newsmax: Concerns Whether Harris Will Be Tough on Iran

Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, told Newsmax on Thursday that he is worried about whether a Harris administration would enact “strong policies” on Iran.

“In the past, as you know, the administration has given sanction relief to the Iranians, which I think is a mistake,” Hoenlein told “American Agenda.” “Anything we do to aid and abet them, it does not serve the purpose of the people of Iran, who want to see this regime removed. It also doesn’t serve the purposes of the region that we enable them to continue to provide to their allies in the region the weapons, the support for the terror activities in which they are engaged to threaten our ships and so many other interests of ours and that of our allies.

“So, I would be concerned about whether there will be the kind of strong policies that send a message to our allies that we can be relied upon. I think the Americans have done a good job, especially [U.S. Central Command], bringing aircraft carriers to the Red Sea, to the Mediterranean, to stand with Israel, to stand against the terrorists. But it’s a question of the sustainability and whether this message will be very clear to Iranian leaders that there will be no compromise with their terrorism.”
