Dear Friends,
Amid conflicting reports about a potential nuclear deal between the United States and Iran, Veterans On Duty reaffirms a clear and unwavering stance: any agreement that permits Tehran to enrich uranium—under any circumstances—endangers American lives and global security.
The belief that the Iranian regime can be trusted with nuclear enrichment isn’t just misguided—it’s dangerously naïve.
Responding to these reports, Veterans On Duty board member and former Department of Defense counterterrorism advisor Garrett Exner stated:
“If the US government allows Iran to enrich uranium for any purpose under this agreement, they should not be surprised when the US Veteran community declines to support the deal. For decades, we fought Iranian proxies who planted IEDs that killed our brothers and sisters in arms so we cannot and will not trust that they are going to live up to the details in the agreement as described today.”
This is not a fringe opinion. More than 200 members of Congress—including a majority of the U.S. Senate—have united in opposition to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Their message, and ours, is clear: No enrichment. No exceptions. No to a nuclear Iran.
