The case against Iran nukes

 Newsweek:

For decades, Iran pursued nuclear weapons while remaining the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world—two realities that posed a serious threat to the free world. President Donald Trump was clear when he called for the complete and permanent suspension of Iran's nuclear program, giving them 60 days to take action toward lasting peace. Iran not only ignored America's good-faith diplomatic efforts, but accelerated their weapons program instead.

When intelligence revealed Iran was weeks away from completing a nuclear weapon, our commander in chief acted decisively, and he called upon airpower to deliver strategic results. Operation Midnight Hammer decimated Iran's nuclear facilities, eliminating this imminent threat and sending an unmistakable message: America will secure peace through strength.

As a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy with over two decades of service in our nation's military, I've flown combat missions against the very terrorists funded and directed by the Iranian regime. I've led operations in the Middle East, shaped strategy from the Pentagon, and stood alongside our allies in NATO's air command and control center. I've seen firsthand the threat Iran poses, not just to Israel or the region, but to every American in uniform.

President Trump is right: Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon. That is not negotiable. Tehran's relentless pursuit of nuclear capabilities, combined with its sponsorship of terrorism, makes it the most dangerous regime on the planet. Many presidents attempted to end Iran's nuclear program, but none were successful until President Trump unleashed America's military might to finish what others couldn't.

The problem with the current Iranian regime is that those in power are Islamist religious bigots who think they are on a mission from God to kill those who reject Islam.  They especially hate the Israelis as well as all Christians and Jews.
