GOP Rep. Gimenez: ‘Some’ Governmental Change Is Objective in Iran, May Not Be Doable

On Friday’s broadcast of C-SPAN’s “Ceasefire,” Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) stated that “some kind of change in the government” is an objective in Iran, but “maybe that’s not reachable.”

Gimenez said, “I have a clearer knowledge, or at least indication of what the objectives are. The objectives are to make sure that Iran can no longer pose a threat to its neighbors and the world with ballistic missiles, that Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon, and then, some kind of change in the government, okay? And so, although, that one is the third objective, and maybe that’s not reachable. Now, for me, I’m a lot more aggressive than, probably, some of my colleagues, okay? We’re at the 20-yard line. I want to score a touchdown, I don’t want to kick a field goal. Kick a field goal means we go into overtime, and we’re going to do it again.
