On “Hannity” Tuesday night, Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie criticized President Obama for choosing "inaction over action" in the face of Iran's threats against America and Russia's power play in Syria.

"This president has chosen inaction over action," said Christie. "Every place around the world, he pulls America back, he retreats, and he apologizes."

The New Jersey governor argued that Obama is convinced he can charm Iran and Russia into compliance. 

“This is a guy who’s convinced that he’s the smartest guy in the room," said Christie, "and he's convinced that he can charm anybody into anything. Now he’ll talk to the Iranians and bring them around..."

"These are murderous thugs… You can’t talk to these people!" he exclaimed.

"The next president better be prepared to [take out Iran’s nuclear facilities], and I will be."

Governor Christie added,

“[And] put me in the ring against Vladimir Putin. We’ll do just fine."
