Returning from Saudi Arabia, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain told CNBC on Wednesday he’s most concerned about the threat posed by Iran.
“There’s a delusion that somehow we’re going to have an agreement with Iran … [and] that we’ll all be working together,” the Arizona Republican said in a “Squawk Box” interview. “Iranians are on the march in the Mideast.”
McCain said the Saudis “perceive a lack of strong American leadership,” as Iran gains significant influence in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen.
