“If the Iranian ayatollah and his henchman obtain a nuclear weapon, it would be one of the most destabilizing and dangerous events in world history,” Sen. Lindsey Graham stated.
(Jan. 31, 2025 / JNS) Five members of Congress from both houses and on both sides of the aisle introduced a resolution on Friday stating that “all options should be considered to address the nuclear threat the Islamic Republic of Iran poses to the United States, Israel and our allies and partners.”
Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), John Fetterman (D-Pa.) and Katie Britt (R-Ala.) and Reps. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) and Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) signed the resolution, which demands that the Iranian regime stop enriching uranium and stop making or owning nuclear warheads or vehicles that could carry such weapons.
“If the Iranian ayatollah and his henchman obtain a nuclear weapon, it would be one of the most destabilizing and dangerous events in world history,” Graham stated. “They are trying to acquire a nuclear weapon as part of their religious agenda to purify their faith, destroy the Jewish state and drive Westerners out of the Middle East.”
“A nuclear-armed Iran is an existential threat to Israel and a nightmare for the world,” Graham added.
Fetterman stated that “Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons is a threat we cannot ignore.”
“The United States, Israel and our allies cannot afford to sit back while the Iranian regime continues down this dangerous path,” he added. “This resolution sends an unmistakable message: all options are on the table to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran.”
