The comments came as Turner, an Ohio Republican, defended recent remarks by former President Donald Trump, who said in recent days that he’s “not looking to be bad to Iran” and that the U.S. would be “friendly” to the country. The former president noted that “they can’t have a nuclear weapon, and we were all set to make sure that they don’t have a nuclear weapon,” because once they do, he said “it’s a whole different world.” …

Turner said Trump is “anti-Iran,” while arguing that acknowledging the strengths of one’s adversaries is “not having weakness on your own part.” He added that “Donald Trump, with the maximum pressure campaign on Iran, put the most pressure on Iran that they have had in any administration — both economically, militarily.”

“They were on the ropes,” Turner said of Iran. “What we see now with this administration… they might declare themselves a nuclear weapons state by the end of this year.” …
