Addressing Iran directly today, Hillary Clinton said unequivocally that she "will not hesitate to take military action" as president if the country attempts to obtain a nuclear weapon.
"The United States will never allow you to acquire a nuclear weapon," Clinton said during remarks at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C Wednesday morning, in a message aimed directly at Iran's leaders.
Clinton's remarks on Iran come just a few hours before Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz , along with former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin , are expected to take to the Capitol for a rally to protest the White House-backed deal.
Following her remarks, Clinton participated in a Q&A with attendees where she called for a "global effort" to help with the Syrian migrant crisis, lamented that the United States does not have a "consistent foreign policy that is bipartisan, let alone nonpartisan," and took a jab at one of her favorite foes, Russian President Vladmir Putin.
