U.S. Senator Katie Britt has no second thoughts about President Donald Trump’s confrontation with Tehran. Her only complaint is that it didn’t come sooner.

Britt (R-Montgomery) laid out her outlook on “America’s Newsroom” with Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer, backing the newly signed U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding and hammering Senate Democrats over the lapse of a major surveillance authority.

“Look, in my opinion this is 47 years too late,” Britt said. “I am grateful for the President’s leadership. I’m grateful that he’s actually holding Iran accountable.”

“It will be good for us, though, to know what those [terms] are, and particularly with regards to nuclear ambitions or lack thereof, from Iran. We’ve heard from the President from the very beginning that he will not allow Iran to enrich uranium, that they will never be able to get a nuclear weapon. Seeing those details, being able to put those in front of Congress will be important so we can be unified and making sure that we take down the greatest threat for terrorism across the globe, and that is Iran.”

The senator credited Operation Epic Fury for forcing Tehran to the table.

“You cannot trust [Iran]. We never have been able to. And that is why making sure that the deterrent that President Trump has created over the last hundred days, it was there … [N]ow we know that their naval fleet, much of that is at the bottom of the ocean,” Britt said. “We know that … Operation Epic Fury … was able to … really cripple their enrichment ability … The strait is open. We know that much of their missile capacity is down. You look at what we’re talking about with the regime. Obviously, we are down three layers into that with many of their top people being taken out by President Trump and … our courageous men and women in uniform. So, I think that deterrence is there.”

Britt said her approach to what comes next is to leverage now, trust later – if Tehran earns it.

“But I think this is an exercise of don’t trust but verify,” she said. “So, I think we come to the table with that in mind, but know that the long-term goal of this is to have sustainability of peace in that region, because we know that’s what’s better for Americans, for the safety and security of our country, for the prosperity of the people here on our shores, a stable Middle East and Iran, without the ability to enrich nuclear capabilities is what’s best for all of us.”

“There’ll be a lot of questions, but I know that President Trump is the best dealmaker that there is on the planet, so I trust his ability to get this done,” Britt concluded.
