<p>Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) signaled during an interview over the weekend that President-elect Donald Trump will once again put the clamps on Iran as he did during his first term in office.</p>
<p>Hagerty made the remarks during a Sunday CBS News interview with Margaret Brennan on &#8220;Face The Nation&#8221; while talking about what Trump&#8217;s foreign policy will look like.</p>
<p>&#8220;Iran, we had them shut down,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Iran was broke. Now they&#8217;re able to fund terror all over the world. We had a maximum pressure campaign.&#8221;</p>
<p>He noted that they were not able to do business with other foreign adversaries during Trump&#8217;s first term.</p>
<p>&#8220;They were not able to do that under the Trump administration,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That&#8217;s why we saw peace breaking out in the Middle East. Without Iran being shut down, which is what we did under the maximum pressure campaign – President Trump led this.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We were able to move our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Everybody said it couldn&#8217;t happen. It did,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;The Abraham Accords. Peace was breaking out in the Middle East because Iran could not fund terror.&#8221;</p>
<p>He noted that the likelihood of Israel getting the hostages back from Hamas has increased because the terrorist organization realizes it&#8217;s no longer going to get a free pass like it did under President Joe Biden.</p>
<p>&#8220;It seems that the entire environment is shifting right now,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Because they see new leadership coming in. And I&#8217;m encouraged by that, and I think we&#8217;ll have new opportunities to – again, President Trump was able to deliver peace through strength.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think that&#8217;s on the way, and I&#8217;m optimistic what it might lead to,&#8221; he continued.</p>
<p>He said that Trump would &#8220;focus on the root cause&#8221; of the problems in the Middle East, which he noted was Iran.</p>
