The international community is rightfully concerned about Iran's accelerating nuclear program and lack of transparency regarding its intentions.

“The atomic agency, as you know, brought out a report in the last few days. It made it clear that Iran had lied, obfiscated, denied access, not allowed enough inspections, and that it now got uranium enriched to 60%.”

He maintains that Iran should not possess nuclear weapons.

“I also believe that Iran can't have nuclear weapons.”

Israel must take action to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons because the regime has clearly signaled its intent to annihilate Israel.

“now, when you're talking about preventing nuclear military Iran, you can't wait for the bomb to to be on its way to here. You have to do it when you can. Even now, it's after the 12th hour.”

Iran's enrichment to 60 percent is evidence of a nuclear weapons program and poses a severe threat that requires containment.

“We know that they've enriched to 60% which means they're 90% of the way there. There's no reason to have anything above 3 to 5% for civilian use. Everybody understands that 60% the only purpose of it is for nuclear weapons.”

The United States and China have reached an agreement that Iran should not possess a nuclear weapon.

“Both countries agreed Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.”

Iran's nuclear program is primarily a latent deterrent against foreign aggression rather than a program for developing nuclear weapons.

“Their posture has been heavily implied. don't attack us and we won't make a nuke. While America's position was if you make a nuke, if you start to, we'll attack you. So, it was the perfect standoff.”

The Iranian nuclear enrichment activities were not an imminent threat and functioned as a bargaining chip in negotiations.

“It was a chip to bargain away which is actually what they were trying to do. They were in the middle of negotiations when Israel snuck attacked them and launched this war.”

He asserts that Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program and cites US intelligence reports as evidence.

“The first point was that Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon. The second point was that Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon program. And the third point was that the Iranian leaders have not decided to have a nuclear weapon program.”

The strike on Iran's nuclear facilities was an ill-fated decision that failed to destroy the program and significantly reduced the chances of a diplomatic resolution.

“This is why this was an ill- fated decision from the very beginning because you're going to end up back in the place where they are on the cusp of having a nuclear weapon. And now, because we took this strike, the chances of resolving that through diplomatic means are greatly reduced.”

Military action against Iran is not a strategic success and will likely push Iran toward developing a nuclear deterrent, making diplomacy the only viable long-term solution.

“And even if he does more, there is very little reason to believe that it could completely be destroyed simply through military action. And that then leaves diplomacy as the only option.”
