White House press secretary Sarah Sanders hit back at reports that the administration had no plan after the Iran nuclear deal was terminated.

Sanders tweeted Tuesday that the “Iran deal was one of the worst deals in history and didn’t guarantee the safety of Americans,” and stated that that was why Trump terminated it.

“Media said we had no plan,” Sanders said, “Wrong! Sec Pompeo unveiled our new Iran strategy yesterday. POTUS will ensure Iran has no path to a nuclear weapon.”

Sanders was referring to the plan unveiled Monday by the Secretary of State Pompeo.
