Joe Kaufman , a GOP challenger running in Florida’s newly formed 25th District, also bills himself as a "terrorist hunter" and brings foreign policy credentials to the table. "I do counter-terrorism research, writing and lectures,” he said before describing how he had been involved in "the shutdown of terrorist charities and the imprisonment of terror-related individuals." He also said in regard to foreign policy that he has been “very involved these past few years in what's been taking place. 17 years ago, I was honored to co-found a group called Cyrus Force with His Majesty Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, who we believe is going to be soon to be a future leader of Iran." Despite being a foreign policy hawk, Kaufman is opposed to putting troops on the ground in Iran . "No, I don't support ground troops, at least not from the United States . I don't want to see what took place in wars past happen here with seeing Americans come back in body bags. I feel the same way about our friends in Israel,” Kaufman added. "But there are third parties that want to get involved, and I say, give them the green light to do so. So, if there's any ground troops…they shouldn't be from America or Israel. It should be from these third parties,” he said. This is an excerpt from a report by David Unsworth .
