Hillary Clinton warns US in 'very weak position' with Iran, 'lost the leverage' in negotiations

"I worry that the United States is now in a very weak position vis-à-vis Iran, which should be the outlier, should be on the back foot and should be the one held to account," Clinton told MS NOW's "Morning Joe" on Monday.

Clinton told MS NOW that the U.S. would have to wipe the slate clean for negotiations with Iran and said they would "have to bring in people who actually know something about nuclear weapons."

Clinton said the administration needed to get back to hard negotiations with the "right people at the table."

"And I also know from personal experience how [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu has tried to get every American president to agree to have an open-ended war with Iran, because I had many, many long hourslong conversations with him and his war cabinet about this and refusing to go along with a very inchoate desire to do something to Iran that, you know, with no real end state that could be described as sufficiently," she said.

"So now here we are. I think you've got to get back into hard negotiations with the right people at the table who know what they are doing," Clinton added.

U.S. Central Command announced plans to enforce the blockade earlier Monday in a notice to seafarers.

"Any vessel entering or departing the blockaded area without authorization is subject to interception, ​diversion, and capture," the note said.

"Hillary Clinton backed the disastrous, one-sided Obama nuclear agreement, which enabled the rogue Iranian regime to build up its capabilities to threaten our homeland, and her State Department refused necessary security personnel for United States facilities in Benghazi, which paved the way for terrorists to kill four Americans," White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly told Fox News Digital in a statement.  

"Crooked Hillary is one of the worst and weakest foreign policy officials to ever disgrace the United States Government. Thankfully, Americans have a courageous leader in President Trump who is strong enough to fix the disaster that Clinton and her fellow Democrats created."
