National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien expressed confidence that despite recent aggression from Iran, a combination of U.S. sanctions and protests from Iranian citizens will force them back to the negotiating table. O'Brien noted that even though Iran has continued hostilities while the Trump administration has crippled its economy, the impact will eventually be too much for the rogue nation to bear. TRUMP TWEETS SUPPORT OF IRANIAN ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTERS AFTER UKRAINIAN PASSENGER PLANE SHOT DOWN"I think the maximum pressure campaign is working," O'Brien told "Fox News Sunday," stating, "Iran is being choked off, and Iran is going to have no other choice but to come to the table." President Trump had pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, and the sanctions were geared towards pushing the Islamic nation to negotiate terms more beneficial to U.S. interests. The deal is also set to expire, but O'Brien believes the financial impact of U.S. sanctions will ultimately be too much for Iran, stating "there's no other way for them to get the money they need."
