If diplomacy fails to convince Iran to abandon its pursuit of a nuclear weapon, the U.S. president should utilize “all options” available to extinguish the state-sponsor of terror’s nuclear ambitions, then-President Barack Obama declared in 2012.

Today, thirteen years later, Obama’s party is denouncing and attacking Republican President Donald Trump for ordering Saturday’s airstrikes that devastated three Iranian nuclear sites now that the country vowing “Death to America” is on the verge of obtaining nuclear weaponry.

However, in a 2012 presidential debate with Republican Mitt Romney, Obama said that, as president, he would take any steps necessary to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear threat, if diplomatic efforts failed to do so:

“So, the work that we’ve done with respect to sanctions now offers Iran a choice:  They can take the diplomatic route and end their nuclear program, or they will have to face a united world and a United States president -- me -- who said we’re not going to take any options off the table.”

“[A]s long as I’m President of the United States, Iran will not get a nuclear weapon,” Obama pledged.

A “nuclear Iran is a threat to our national security and it’s a threat to Israel’s national security,” Obama warned:

“Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism, and for them to be able to provide nuclear technology to non-state actors, that’s unacceptable. And they have said that they want to see Israel wiped off the map.”

During his time in the White House, Pres. Obama ordered at least seven strikes against foreign countries posing a threat to the U.S.

Today, however, Democrats are threatening to take Congressional action, and even attempt to impeach, Republican President Donald Trump for ordering the strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, now that diplomatic efforts have been exhausted.
