President Trump is the only previous president since Bill Clinton, Republican and Democrat alike, who has declared that Iran cannot be permitted to develop nuclear weapons, not one who has taken action to prevent it. The author argues that past presidents since Ronald Reagan condemned Iran's role in terrorism against American citizens, interests, and allies, but instead left a more dangerous Iran and a more complicated threat to address. In June, Trump initiated a limited military operation to interrupt Iran’s development of nuclear weapons and discourage the country from continuing its nuclear program. Despite this, critics argue that if he hadn’t acted, his successor would have faced an even more dangerous choice than his predecessors left him. They also question whether the Iranian missiles now hitting Iran's neighbors could be hitting Berlin or London, perhaps even New York or Washington, could be hit by a nuclear device or a dirty bomb. The article also criticizes the isolationist wing of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party for ignoring the enemy's intentions and intentions. It suggests that opposition to the military action is rooted in antipathy towards Trump himself, rather than policy differences, and that attempts to curb Iran's military capabilities have historically been based on policy differences rather than on the issue of military action.
