At a Senate Armed Services Committee Hearing today, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said that it’s time to “pull the trigger” on tougher Iran sanctions.

McCain was talking about increasing sanctions on Iran, and said that former Secretary of State George Schultz once said that his Marine drill instructor told him “never point a gun at somebody unless you’re ready to pull the trigger.”

He continued: “We keep pointing the gun. We haven’t pulled a single trigger yet. And it’s about time that we did.”
