JOHN TEICHERT: Iran’s Nuclear Capabilities Can Still Be Stopped

Last Saturday’s meeting between the US and Iran The first important diplomacy step Towards achieving America’s national security priorities. Leading Iran to the negotiation table was necessary to achieve a near-universal purpose. It has prevented Iran from becoming a nuclear weapon in Islamic Republic. This is an ideal time for the Trump administration to seize this momentum as the US negotiates from a clear standpoint of strength. In this geopolitical poker high stakes game, the US and President Donald Trump hold the cards.

President Trump has made it clear that he is relentlessly focused on the singular key objectives in these talks – Preventing nuclear armed Iran. He clearly communicated this redline. All options are available in the table. Based on this clarity, the general economic and military situation, and the current important power imbalance, the United States is able to separate Iran from the nuclear threshold, and President Trump can take advantage of this unique moment in world history.

The imbalance of power at this moment comes from the main purpose of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Above all, the highest leader of Iranian values ​​survives. Military and economic factors point to one conclusion that is inevitable for him. The best way to protect the regime is to abandon his nuclear pursuit.

Iran has been weaker and military vulnerable for decades. Their massive missile and drone strikes twice last year, Israel, US and Regional Partners There is no serious damage. Also, twice last year, Israel attacked Iranian targets. Natantz nuclear development Location and elimination of air defense and missile development sites nationwide. Accurate Targeting It was a further demonstration in downtown Tehran, where the senior leader in Hamas was killed, saying Israel could hit Iran’s targets at any time. Meanwhile, Iran’s reckless attempts on a massive strike proved their deep relative weakness.

Iran’s proxy empire has also become undoubtedly undoubtedly over the past few months. Hezbollah is Necklace And the Hamas is isolated as it decreases Castratedand Iran’s Syrian agent was It has been eliminated. These geopolitical realities have greatly eased pressure on Israel and alienated Iran’s deterrent to Jewish homelands. Without these previous capabilities, Iran’s direct and indirect military options would be significantly limited.

The military threat from the US and Israel is looming heavily in the hearts of Iranian leaders. President Trump’s ability to adopt precision strike capabilities against high-value targets is backed by his willingness to follow the threat, as seen in early 2020. ExclusionGeneral Qasem Soleimani.

the current positioning It has the ability to employ a massive 30,000-pound weapon intruder out of two US carrier strike groups and half a dozen B-2 bombers. What’s more, unlike previous US administrations that counterproductively suppressed Israel’s response to Israel’s attacks on Israel’s homeland, President Trump is willing to glow in a full attack by Israel, which can destroy Iran’s military, economic and leadership targets.

Economic threats also provide the United States with a particularly powerful negotiation tool. Iran’s population is struggling with economic conditions Already tragichas skyrocketed, and the unemployment rate has skyrocketed. President Trump’s full return to the maximum pressure campaign, as well as the UN sanctions set to be automatically reconfigured in October, bring the Islamic Republic to the knees, ruin the economy and incite the flames of public dissatisfaction, which is already a threat to the Ayatollah. Without a negotiated settlement, the application of this economic leverage raises doubts the survival of Iran’s revolutionary regime. New York Times This was the main factor that led Ayatollah representatives to the negotiation table last weekend. The Supreme Leader is justly concerned, and the United States must intentionally exacerbate his anxiety.

The Islamic Republic is potential A few weeks away Official nuclear capabilities suggest that Iran is unable to weaponize its high-end nuclear stockpile, according to the Intelligence Report. That reality provides a window into the end of opportunities for the coming months when Iran faces one-sided vulnerability, and they know it.

When intelligence shows during this window that Iran continues to pursue nuclear weapons, or that he is strategically stagnating or failing negotiations in good faith, the US and Israel must act in their power, and Iran must believe such a threat is realistic and catastrophic. However, the US’s diplomatic positioning is overwhelmingly favorable. So, through strength-based leadership, with the right cards in hand, the US will succeed in a high-stakes nuclear talk that benefits humanity by eliminating Iran’s nuclear threat.
