WASHINGTON — GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul says “offering friendship” to Iran, not sanctions, would be a more fruitful path to achieving peace with Tehran.
The Texas congressman says fears about Iran’s nuclear program have been “blown out of proportion.” He says tough penalties are a mistake because, as he says was the case in Iraq, they hurt only the local population and still pave a path to war.
When asked on “Fox News Sunday” what he would do to deter Iran’s alleged nuclear ambitions, Paul said “maybe offering friendship to them.”
