The Biden administration is marching blindly to a nuclear deal with Iran, with some experts believing that a deal is imminent. There are several reasons why such a deal would likely be a disaster.
The Deal will Not Stop Iran from Getting A Bomb
While the White House’s stated goal is preventing Iran from ever acquiring a nuclear weapon, Robert Malley, the US Special Envoy to Iran, acknowledges that the Iran deal will allow Iran to get a nuclear bomb by 2031. Malley’s assessment is echoed by both Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz, and a letter from over 5,000 senior Israeli military officials to President Biden. So, what is the point of the deal if Iran can still get a bomb?
Statements from Iran itself should make it clear that Iran has malicious intent. An adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei recently admitted that Iran has the “technical capability” to make a nuclear bomb, which is the opposite to Iran’s long-held posture that its nuclear ambitions are for peaceful purposes only. And a video posted in two telegram channels linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that Iran’s ballistic missiles can turn “New York into hellish ruins.” So, why should we believe that this deal will bring peace with Iran?
