August Wolf in 2016 AdWatch

On War & Peace: We can't trust the Iranian terrorist regime with nukes

August Wolf is airing his first commercial: a cable television ad urging US Sen. Richard Blumenthal to oppose the proposed US-Iran nuclear deal. Rather than introduce himself, Wolf opted in the first ad of the 2016 season to focus attention on whether Blumenthal will support a deal that would lift sanctions on Iran in return for controls on its ability to develop nuclear weapons. "We can't trust the Iranian terrorist regime with nuclear weapons," Wolf says in the ad.

His spokesman said the campaign has purchased between $15,000 and $20,000 in ads on cable television in the New Haven and Hartford markets in an effort to start a public conversation. "We'll see how it delivers," the spokesman said.

Blumenthal recently quizzed Pentagon officials about the proposed deal, but he is undecided, unlike his Democratic ally from New York, US Sen. Chuck Schumer, who has announced his opposition.
