Since Iran’s Islamist revolution in 1979, an unending cry has gone out: “Death to Israel and death to America.” That Islamic government has invested heavily over these past 47 years in its nuclear weapons program to do just that. Sadly, the Western world has ignored them as the Islamic regime agreed their nuclear program was only for low enrichment grade peaceful purposes. The regime defiantly has produced highly enriched weapons-grade uranium, enough to make nearly a dozen nuclear bombs.

Some of the needed uranium came from Iranian mines, the rest from dark sources. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama supplied Iran a planeload of cash they used for uranium enrichment and missile development. Last year, they demonstrated an ability to deliver bombs to virtually all of Europe, and very soon America. Their stated 47-year objective of “death to America” was within reach.

Thankfully, President Trump had the courage to stop Iran’s grand plan. First, he ordered Operation Midnight Hammer — the precision bombing of Iran’s underground uranium facilities, and then Epic Fury — the destruction of their leadership, military and war material production facilities.

Iran’s nuclear and military ambitions are badly decimated, and Iran can no longer sell oil. Hopefully, the remaining military guard will face the inevitable. The people of Iran, a nation of 93 million, can then be welcomed into the community of peace- loving nations.
