James Jeffrey: “My goal is to defeat ISIS, is to destroy its hold on Tehran and Iraq and Syria.”

We would do everything short of military force to try to hold off a Turkish incursion.

We do not turn to Russia to broker an agreement. We turn to the U.N. to do it.

It's unpleasant, it's transactional, it's ugly, but we and Turkey have very similar strategic goals.

There is no doubt, including in the White House, that Iran is an extremely dangerous, expansionist force in the region.
