U.S. Action Against Iran’s Nuclear Program

June 21, 2025

The United States’ decision to dismantle Iran’s nuclear weapons infrastructure is a necessary act of defense against a fanatical regime that has called for the annihilation of Israel and chanted “Death to America” since 1979. Iran cannot be allowed to operate in the shadows, developing weapons of mass destruction to threaten global security.

For more than three decades, Iran and its terror proxies—from Hezbollah to Hamas—have pursued the destruction of the Jewish state, the radicalization of the Middle East, and the erosion of U.S. and Western democratic
influence. This day has been a long time coming.

This moment affirms a powerful and enduring truth: democratic, freedom-loving nations must stand united against tyranny. Just as America once rose to defeat Nazi Germany and defend Western Europe from Soviet domination, today it has acted decisively to prevent the world’s most dangerous regime from acquiring the most destructive weapons known to mankind.
