Retired four-star Gen. David Petraeus is calling for immediate sanctions against Russia after reports that Moscow is providing Iran with intelligence support — assistance he says could explain the improved accuracy of Iranian missile and drone attacks.
“[President Trump] should ask Congress to pass the sanctions bill that is in the Senate…” Petraeus told “The Sunday Briefing.”
“[Sen. Lindsey Graham] has over 90 out of 100 senators supporting it. It would be a very powerful signal to Russia. It would complement what the EU has done, which has been very impressive in this regard as well, and I think it’s long since time that the sanctions are slapped on Russia, especially now that apparently they’re providing the intelligence,” he added.
