‘The Islamic Republic currently possesses over 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% and is just a few technical steps away from producing a nuclear weapon. In 2020, Iran operated only 512 centrifuges. By 2025, that number has soared to over 11,000 advanced centrifuges’

The barbaric conflict that started Oct. 7, 2023, marked by widespread casualties, terror, torture and hostage-taking, delivered a harsh lesson to the West: Appeasing the Iranian mullahs’ regime inevitably leads to war.
Under the 2015 nuclear agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, in an effort to contain Tehran $150 billion in frozen Iranian assets were released to the Middle East’s major sponsor of terrorism. The regime used these funds not for the welfare of its own people, but to expand its network of proxy militias across the region, enrich uranium to 60%, and move dangerously close to building a nuclear bomb.
Even targeted airstrikes on its nuclear facilities can no longer ensure that the world is safe from a weapon that would undoubtedly be used as an instrument of war and destruction.
