Last week, Israel launched a military operation to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to attack its increasingly dangerous ballistic missile arsenal. This operation came after the IAEA officially declared Iran was not in compliance with its non- proliferation obligations and the regime ignored President Trump’s 60-day deadline to reach a peaceful agreement to resolve the nuclear issue.
Israel’s actions were necessitated by four primary factors: First, intelligence demonstrating Iran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program, including weaponization activity. Second, Iran’s refusal to reach a negotiated agreement. Third, Iran’s rapid expansion of ballistic missile production. And finally, the closing of the window of opportunity to act.
A nuclear-capable Iran is a threat to America, Israel and the entire world. America must stand with our ally Israel as it works to rid the world of the Iranian nuclear threat, and ensure the Jewish state has the resources needed to keep its people safe and complete this vital mission.
America must stand with our ally Israel as it works to remove the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program. America must make clear to Iran the consequences of attacking Israel and ensure our ally has the resources it needs to defend itself and destroy Iran’s enrichment and ballistic missile programs.
