Bill OReilly Shocks Fox News Anchor By Expressing Support For Iran DealBY IGOR VOLSKY * APRIL 2, 2015 * ThinkProgress.com
A slew of Democratic lawmakers endorsed the tentative deal the United States and its international partners reached on Thursday to contain Irans nuclear program. But support for the agreement also came from an unusual source: Fox News Bill OReilly.
Appearing on the conservative network just minutes after President Barack Obama held a news conference in the White House Rose Garden laying out the broad outlines for how the United States hopes to limit Tehrans nuclear capabilities, OReilly a harsh critic of Obamas foreign policy argued that conservatives should give diplomacy a chance.
You dont want a war with Iran, he explained. You dont want to bomb that country because the unintended consequences will set the world aflame. So if you can get something thats decent, you give it a shot. I think thats a legitimate point, OReilly said to a surprised Gretchen Carlson, host of the networks daytime show, The Real Story.
OReilly also warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against immediately rejecting the compromise, counseling the long-time opponent of talks to wait and see specifically what the Iranians are going to agree to.
