Imagine Hitler with Nuclear Bombs; Now Imagine Iran's Mullahs with Nuclear Bombs

• The Iranian regime is rapidly pursuing acquiring nuclear weapons. This breakout must be prevented.

• Iran is already supplying terror groups -- Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Houthis -- with ballistic missiles. Presumably to hide behind "plausible deniability," Iran's regime does not seem particularly shy about arming these militias abroad with advanced weaponry. Why wouldn't it equip these groups with nuclear weapons as well?

• Iran's regime has made no secret of its desire to annihilate Israel ("Death to Israel!") on the way to annihilating the United States ("Death to America!"). The mullahs doubtless just see Israel as standing in the way.

• From Iran's perspective, Israel, smaller than New Jersey, is, as former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani indicated, a "one-bomb" country: "[T]he employment of even one atomic bomb inside Israel will wipe it off the face of the earth, but [such a bomb] would only do damage to the Islamic World."

• Consider the scenario where not just Iran's proxies, but other allies of Iran -- such as Venezuela or Cuba -- are equipped with nuclear weapons.

• Does anyone imagine if Hamas had possessed nuclear weapons when they sent a "huge barrage of rockets" and bulldozed their way into Israel on October 7, 2023, that they would have hesitated to use them?

• The proliferation of nuclear weapons poses an existential threat not only to Israel but, of course, creates a broader, more unpredictable global security crisis.

• Immediate action is needed to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons... It is an intervention that should have been undertaken many years ago, but was unfortunately thwarted by the Obama administration. Any further delay can only lead to catastrophic consequences for international stability.

The Iranian regime is rapidly pursuing acquiring nuclear weapons. This breakout must be prevented. 

Iran's regime poses a danger at least as dangerous as Hitler's if he had possessed them. 

Given the Iranian leadership's ideological extremism, combined with its strategic ambitions and regional influence, the potential for regional and global instability that could result cannot be overstated. 

Allowing Iran to obtain nuclear weapons will simply increase the risk of a Middle Eastern nuclear arms race and devastating global conflicts.
