Macgregor endorsed the horribly flawed Iran nuclear deal and essentially inferred that the U.S. is but a puppet for Israel and Saudi Arabia.

No, he did not. He implied that the U.S. is but a puppet for Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The speaker implies, the listener infers.

Thank you. That one drives me up a wall, too. Inferred/implied, not synonymous.
