‘Islamist fanatic’ Iranian regime not prepared to give up its nuclear ambitions

Former Labor MP Michael Danby doesn't believe the Iranian regime is prepared to give up its nuclear ambitions. ​“Because it is an Islamist fanatic regime that believes in the coming of the Mahdi,” Mr Danby told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. ​“Oil is flowing through the Strait of Hormuz; it seems to be a managed conflict at the moment. ​“The enriched uranium for the 11 atomic bombs that they wanted to build is entombed in Isfahan. ​“With American satellites, President Trump and JD Vance have said they have eyes on it all the time.”

Nuclear Blackmail: An Admission That the Iranian Regime Seeks Survival, Not Defense

The statements published today in Iran's state-controlled media regarding the country's nuclear program are far more than technical comments about nuclear capability. They represent a significant political message. The remarks made by Hossein Shariatmadari, editor-in-chief of Kayhan, amount to an almost explicit admission that Iran's obstacle to acquiring a nuclear weapon is not technological capability, but political will. This shift in rhetoric cannot be separated from the aftermath of the recent war, the ongoing negotiations with the United States, and the regime's growing domestic crisis.

BRIEF: Crank Agrees with Trump That Iran War Was Necessary Because Iran Was ‘Preparing an Attack’ on U.S. Military Personnel

Earlier this month, when asked by KOA talk radio host Mandy Connell for his thoughts on the war in Iran, Rep. Jeff Crank (R-CO) responded, “I was with the president, and look, I’ve seen some intelligence. We can’t get too much into that, but I can say this. I think the president acted to stop an attack that was being planned on U.S. service personnel within the region. We have many military installations where our service members are serving in that region that are vulnerable to ballistic missile attacks from Iran.”
