The United States is at a critical juncture. As Iran is inching closer to developing a nuclear weapon, it is imperative that we and our partners are prepared for the consequences.

The nature of the Iranian regime, driven by its ideological goals, could cause Iran’s behavior to be more unpredictable and dangerous than the behavior of other states with nuclear capabilities.
The United States must equip and empower our regional partners and allies to confront Iran, use our diplomatic and economic levers to put pressure on the Iranian regime, and, if necessary, develop and maintain the capabilities needed to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities.
