Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden spoke in Manhattan Tuesday on current tensions with Iran — and called on President Donald Trump to rejoin the Iran deal amid increasing tensions over the killing of Major General Qassim Suleimani.

“The seeds of danger were planted by Donald Trump himself on May 8, 2019 —  the day he tore up the Iran Nuclear Deal, against the advice of his own top master security adviser,” said Biden during his speech at Chelsea Piers. “He turned his back on our closest European allies and decided that it was important to destroy any progress that the Obama-Biden administration did.”
