Dear Friends,
Under the Biden Administration, Iran has rapidly advanced towards developing nuclear weapons. The regime seeks to continue its campaign of violence and terror against freedom and democracy, and remains focused on acquiring weapons of mass destruction that will undoubtedly be used to threaten America and our close allies like Israel.
Since the Biden Administration abandoned President Trump’s policy of maximum pressure, Iran has quickly accelerated its nuclear program and utilized sanctions relief to fund terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah.
According to Axios, Iran has been able to shrink the time needed to build a nuclear weapon to just a matter of days, giving the Ayatollah the ability to develop nuclear weapons at a moment’s notice. This outcome would be a disaster, imperiling the very existence of the state of Israel and putting millions of Americans in the crosshairs of a hostile regime hellbent on destruction.
Swift and decisive action must be taken to ensure this scenario doesn’t come to pass. As incoming National Security Advisor Congressman Mike Waltz has repeatedly argued, the language Iran understands best is that of strength. The 2019 strike on Iranian General Qassem Soleimani for instance, helped put Iran squarely “on its back foot.”
We must learn from the lessons of the past and recognize that appeasement does not work. If America and our allies are to avoid a crisis, we must re-exert maximum political, economic, and military pressure on the Iranian regime to prevent a nuclear catastrophe.
Sincerely,
Veterans On Duty
