Former United Nations Ambassador Bill Richardson reacted Sunday on New York City AM 970 show “The Cats Roundtable” to Iran’s recent ballistic missile launch, saying Iran needs to be punished and that we need to “protect our friends in Israel.”

“We have to sanction Iran.They shouldn’t be doing that under the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and U.N. accords.” Richardson told host John Catsimatidis.  “You’ve gotta watch them. We’ve got to protect our friends in Israel.”
