| Iranian missile hits a Charedi neighborhood in Arad (VIN) |
No one wants this war to end omre than I do. And yet… and
yet…
As much pain as Iran is able to inflict on my people—and
even on the world—there is no way this war can end with Iran retaining even the
slightest ability to rebuild. Worse still would be allowing a return to their
uranium enrichment program, which experts estimate is no more a couple of weeks
away from enriching to weapons grade level and no more than six months away
from producing an actual nuclear weapon.
Iran has shown its true colors during this war. To claim
that it is merely responding defensively to an American-Israeli attack would be
laughable - if the stakes weren’t so high. What they have demonstrated is a
willingness to lash out broadly, even sending missiles into neighboring Muslim
countries. Just yesterday, it was revealed that they possess missiles capable
of reaching distances far greater than previously believed—nearly reaching a US
military base in Europe. That they missed only shows that accuracy has yet to
be perfected. Given time, that will surely change.
It is no secret that the version of Islam governing Iran is
a radical one, in which executing dissidents is seen as a religious obligation.
This is a regime that exterminated tens of thousands of its own unarmed
citizens during past protests. When such a regime promises ‘death to America’ and ‘death to Israel’, believe them! That is
their ultimate goal. And once they believe they have the means to achieve it,
they will try. Starting with Israel and eventually targeting the United States.
There is no doubt in my mind that this rogue nation must be
defeated. What makes them especially dangerous is their unwavering resolve to
fight to the end, regardless of how weakened they become. They will continue
launching missiles and bomb laden drones for as long as they are able—and those
drones are cheap and easy to produce.
The world cannot afford to let such a regime survive.
Whatever it takes.
Even if it means boots on the ground.
