“Do the Iranians want to join the nuclear weapons club? The answer seems to be ‘no.’ Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — whose orders constitute the regime’s policy — has long held that ‘the production, stockpiling and use of nuclear weapons are forbidden under Islam and that the Islamic Republic of Iran shall never acquire these weapons.’ … Why is the US regime’s policy clearly oriented toward changing Iran’s mind on the acquisition of nuclear weapons? For all its panic-mongering over the prospect of a nuclear Iran, there’s only been a short period over the last quarter century when the panic actually got addressed — the period of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, aka the ‘Iran nuclear deal.'” (06/20/24)
