OPINION:
On Monday, Iran tested a ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, in violation of all “agreements,” “deals,” and winks of the eye this administration and the United Nations have put together and promoted as “keeping the world safe” and “better than a war.” Yes, you heard that right, but it’s worth repeating, Iran tested a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead which could threaten the United States with nuclear attack.
The missile, known as a Ghadr-110, has a range of 1,800 – 2000 km, or 1200 miles, and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. The missile fired in November is an improved version of the Shahab 3, and is similar to the precision guided missile tested by Iran on Oct. 10, which elicited strong condemnation from members of the U.N. Security Council.
“The United States is deeply concerned about Iran’s recent ballistic missile launch,” Samantha Power, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., said in a statement after the last Iranian ballistic missile test in October, reports Fox News, adding that it would not derail the Iranian nuclear agreement. Of course it won’t. That’s the whole point. Nothing will derail the nuclear ’deal.’ Iran will get nuclear weapons no matter what and a means to deliver them.
The White House has said in the past that it will review Iranian violations of the nuclear deal signed late this year. With leadership like this, who needs enemies?
