President Barack Obama’s approach to Iran has made Americans “less secure,” Mitt Romney said in his speech accepting the Republican presidential nomination.
“Every American was relieved the day President Obama gave the order, and Seal Team Six took out Osama bin Laden,” Romney said Aug. 30 at the Republican National Convention. “On another front, every American is less secure today because he has failed to slow Iran’s nuclear threat.”
He criticized Obama’s strategy of diplomatic engagement with Iran and accused Obama of having “thrown allies like Israel under the bus,” echoing language he had previously used in criticizing the president’s approach to the Jewish state. — jta
