OPINION — A regime that has been willing to slaughter as many as 36,500 of its own subjects should never, ever have a nuclear weapon.
When our US bombing started, the Trump administration stated the Iranian minority, nationally-feared government was within weeks of having nuclear bombs and the long-range missiles to carry them.
Russia and China know the consequences of the use of such weapons, but the ideology of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), believe that the annihilation of the Great Satin (the US) and the state of Israel would be God’s work and would be their ticket to paradise. The world, and specifically the US presidents, have been unwilling to confront the source of numerous Iranian terrorist acts by themselves and their surrogates, the Houthis, Hamas and Hezbollah.
