I think it\u2019s really important that the US not put our\u200c own men and women on the line in a war\u200b with Iran, when in fact, there\u2019s no reason for us to be in that kind of war now, and I\u200c don\u2019t \u200dthink that\u2019s good for the United \u2064States, \u2064and I don\u2019t \u2064think that\u2019s good for Israel. But \u2064what we do need \u2064to \u200ddo is to make \u200dsure that Israel is strong so that Iran isn\u2019t emboldened. \u200dThis is, you know, an ayatollah in Iran who would \u200drather Israel not \u2062exist, \u200blet\u2019s just call that truth out for what it is.\u2064 And so, Israel needs to be\u200d in a strong position to defend \u2062itself. And\u2064 the United States will be at Israel\u2019s back.\u2062 But I think that that\u2019s \u2062a very different thing from automatically sleepwalking\u200d ourselves into war. I\u2019m\u2062 an anti-war president. And the way I\u2019m going to do it is by deterring war, be it \u200cending the\u200c war in Ukraine and deterring China. These are \u2062important elements\u200d of why I think it\u2019s\u200c important to be strong, but in a way that doesn\u2019t accidentally walk us into \u2063wars that we don\u2019t belong \u2062in.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ramaswamy responded to Haley\u2019s criticisms in a\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/haley-ramaswamys-feud-intensifies-compares-israel-policies-aoc-far-left-squad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> to Fox News\u2064 Digital, saying that he had left military \u200dintervention in Iran\u2064 on \u2064the table\u2063 during that interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother flagrant distortion \u2062by the\u2064 neocons \u2026 I said we would fully support \u2064Israel, \u2062including militarily, but that we should *not* want U.S. men and\u200d women dying in a war between\u2063 Israel and\u200c Iran,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Haley, who most recently \u200cserved as the U.S. Ambassador \u200bto the U.N., has\u2063 been trading barbs with Ramaswamy \u200bon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/in-line-for-senior-job-at-state-sanders-aide-accuses-biden-of-illegal-military-action\/\" title=\"In Line For Senior Job at State, Sanders Aide Accuses Biden of Illegal Military Action\">foreign policy issues<\/a> since the first GOP <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nikki-haley-unloads-on-vivek-ramaswamy-over-foreign-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">primary debate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Citing Ramaswamy\u2019s position on the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine \u2014 namely that\u200d Ukraine should make\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/vivek-ramaswamy-bring-back-trumps-trans-military-ban\/story?id=99813290\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">major concessions<\/a> to their \u2062Russian aggressors \u200cto prevent a Russia-China\u2064 alliance \u2014 \u200dHaley \u200bargued, \u201cYou are choosing a \u2063murderer over a\u2064 pro-American country \u2026\u2063 You would make America less safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder your watch, you would make America less safe, you have no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nikki-haley-at-rjc-biden-admin-cant-be-trusted-to-stop-iran-nuclear-threat\/\" title=\"Nikki Haley at RJC: Biden Admin Can\u2019t Be Trusted to Stop Iran Nuclear Threat\">foreign policy experience<\/a>\u2063 and\u2063 it shows,\u201d Haley continued.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy has \u200bsince\u200d hit Haley on a few occasions, \u200breferring to her assessment of \u200bhis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/indiana-republicans-gut-pro-parent-critical-race-theory-bill-to-appease-special-interests\/\" title=\"Indiana Republicans Gut Pro-Parent Critical Race Theory Bill To Appease Special Interests\">policy statements<\/a> as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/its-a-lie-go-ahead-and-play-it-vivek-ramaswamy-tries-to-steamroll-andrea-mitchell-in-latter-stages-of-wild-marathon-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lies<\/a>.\u201d \u200bHe \u200dalso slammed her for \u2063saying that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nikki-haley-bashes-ramaswamy-for-saying-hed-cut-aid-to-israel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he\u2063 did not fully \u2063support Israel<\/a> from\u2062 his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivek2024.com\/truth-over-myth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">campaign website<\/a>: \u201cWRONG.
