Oliver North: Trump should sanction anyone who does business with Iran

BY LUIS SANCHEZ - 05/09/18 09:33 AM EDT

Oliver North, who was once at the center of a controversy in which he sold weapons to Tehran to fund a rebel group in Nicaragua, said on Tuesday that President Trump should sanction anyone who does business with Iran, Fox News reported.

"If we sanction [Iran] again, we ought to sanction anybody else who does business with them," North, who was recently elected as the new leader of the NRA, told Fox News. "That'll stop the Euros from helping to bail them out while they cheat on this program." France, Germany and Britain have not withdrawn from the Iran nuclear deal, which lifted sanctions on Tehran.

North’s comments came before Trump announced on Tuesday that he would be pulling the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear agreement meant to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon. By pulling out, Trump will reinstate sanctions on Iran.

North, who served in the Reagan administration's National Security Council staff, was the central figure in the Iran-Contra affair that illegally sold weapons to Iran to encourage U.S. hostages to be released from Lebanon.
