Retired Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer told Newsmax on Friday that the Iranian attempt to undermine the Abraham Accords “failed miserably” when it attacked Israel last weekend.
“Part of what they’re trying to do, the Iranians, is destroy the Abraham Accords and this military group that came together — that’s their goal,” Shaffer said on “Newsline,” referring to the countries that aided Israel during the attack. “And this failed miserably because, as you saw, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia all showed up to help out, for better or for worse, and Iraq as well a little bit. This is a bad sign for Iran, a good sign for the Israelis and Middle East peace.”
