Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that she believed the positive relations brought about by the Iran nuclear deal catalyzed the speedy release of the ten U.S. sailors taken captive by Iran Tuesday. When later asked if President Barack Obama not mentioning the Iran situation during his State of the Union signaled the administration was “still appeasing” Iran, Pelosi asserted that the Obama White House has not “ever appeased Iran.”
