Hillary Clinton, who failed in her 2016 presidential run, had some harsh words for Iran in the past.

In 2008, Hillary Clinton had a warning for Iran if it produced a nuclear weapon and launched a nuclear attack on Israel.

Clinton said that she was prepared to “obliterate” Iran if that happened.

Some social media clips came to light after President Trump decided to order a U.S. drone strike that killed the Iranian terrorist General Qasem Soleimani.

Iran retaliated with over a dozen missiles in airstrikes into Iraq.

The hashtag #IvotedforHillaryClinton trended on Twitter on Wednesday morning, a trend that Clinton participated in with a taunting gif.

But Clinton may have forgotten her own hawkish rhetoric during the 2008 primary.

Ahead of the Pennsylvania Democratic primary that April, Hillary Clinton was asked by Good Morning America what she would do if Israel was attacked by Iran.

“If Iran were to launch a nuclear attack on Israel, what would our response be?”

Clinton said in an interview with then-host Chris Cuomo.

“I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we will attack Iran.

That’s what we will do.

There is no safe haven.”

She also warned that if Iran developed a nuclear weapon, the United States had the power to “totally obliterate” the country.
