Sen. Dianne Feinstein said on Fox News Sunday that Donald Trump was “right” in his decision to put Iran “on notice.”

Host Chris Wallace first asked the California Democrat if “President Trump is right to say that enough is enough and to put the rulers in Iran on notice?”
“I think that he is right in this,” Feinstein responded. “I think that Iran is wrong in this. Let me be very clear.”
“These are not nuclear ballistic missiles, they are conventional ballistic missiles, but Iran has a lot of them,” she added. “More than anybody else in the area.”

“The need to test right now, I think is very dangerous and should not have happened.”
Feinstein further noted that Iran also has an election coming up this year,” and this might be a political maneuver by the current administration.
“I hope that there is no more than this,” she told Wallace. “It is not going to benefit anyone for this kind of thing to continue.”
