Reform LIVE: Nadhim Zahawi defects as Nigel Farage makes big announcement | Politics | News | EUROtoday

Nigel Farage has mentioned he would help US navy motion in Iran as protests continued to be brutally suppressed by Tehran.

He mentioned: “We should have proscribed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) years ago, just as we should have proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood years ago and I’ve been saying those things clearly and consistently for many, many years and I’ve reiterated them in recent times.

“I cannot believe the stupidity of Obama, the European Union, the British Foreign Office and some of your former colleagues who went along in 2015 with this JCPOA deal. It’s been a disaster, it’s freed up tens of billions of dollars for the Iranians. And what have they used it for? They’ve used it to fund the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas.

“We went for regime change against Saddam, we went for regime change against Gaddafi, the regime change we’ve always needed is against Iran.

“I very much hope President Trump acts in the next few days. We don’t know how many have been killed, it could be perhaps as many as 2,000. So would I support military action against the IRGC, the Revolutionary Guard, on the ground, Iran, so the good guys can win this revolution? Absolutely, 100%.”
