This post was originally published on this site.
As the leader of President Barack Obama’s negotiating team on the nuclear agreement with Iran, Wendy Sherman launched a no-holds-barred attack on President Donald Trump’s Iran strategy over the weekend.
Sherman, who served as undersecretary of state for political affairs during the Obama administration and as deputy secretary of state under President Joe Biden, took aim at Trump’s Iran policy in recent interviews.
Sherman’s assault on the Trump administration’s war strategy in a Bloomberg News interview raised eyebrows because it comes at a time when the administration is inflicting enormous economic pressure on Tehran’s rulers via the U.S.blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Having played a key role in sealing the widely criticized 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, which Trump withdrew from in 2018, she slammed Trump’s Iran plan in the Bloomberg interview.“He doesn’t have a strategy.He’s very tactical [and] very transactional — as he was as a developer.In this case, I don’t think that approach will work.”
She added, “He has cost ouralliances, American taxpayers, 13 American lives, our inventory of weapons, our ability to project power abroad.”

Adding to the growing anti-Israel sentiment among Democrats, Sherman also attacked Israel in the interview.She said, without giving any evidence, “I also believe that Prime Minister [Benjamin Netanyahu] has led us down a road — and we have been part of it — that has, in essence, created a genocide in Gaza that has destabilized the Middle East.”
When asked about Sherman’s criticism of Israel, Dershowitz said, “She is a bigot and anti-Israel.She sees everything through the lens ofBarack Obama.”
Obama faced criticism during his tenure for his alleged anti-Israel policies, including allowing an anti-Israel U.N.Security Council resolution to pass in the last days of his presidency.

In a Wall Street Journal opinion article last week, Dershowitz wrote: “The Democratic Party has become the most anti-Israel party in U.S.history.Last week, all but seven Senate Democrats voted for an arms embargo against the Jewish state… There is no denying that the hard left, anti-Israel wing of the Democratic Party has moved from the fringe to the mainstream.”

Asked to respond to the criticism of her remarks on Iran, Israel and Dershowitz“I’m sorry Ambassador Sherman is not available at this time and must decline.”
