#Iran is a virtual nuclear weapons state and is only a political decision away from developing nuclear weapons. You cannot neglect the necessity of having a military option on the table.

“The IAEA was aware about some aspects of uranium enrichment in #Iran. The magnitude, however, was very different, particularly when we saw the satellite images from Natanz, because Natanz was not known to us in August 2002.”

There was bipartisan pressure from the U.S. on #Iran’s nuclear program until 2015 when the Obama admin threw away all that for nothing, on a belief they could contain the mullahs’ regime.

20 years ago today, the Iranian opposition NCRI unveiled for the first time two sites of #Iran's secret nuclear weapons program in Natanz & Arak.

Thanks to the West's appeasement, the ayatollahs are very close to the bomb.

#Iran IRGC’s Telegram channel posted a video saying regime is now able to quickly build nuclear weapons and its ICBMs can "turn New York into ruins and hell!"

Yet Biden and Europe are still begging for a highly flawed deal with Tehran.
