Iran’s ruling elite, bluntly, evidently believe that both its survival and its mission depend on acquiring nuclear weapons. They saw what happened to Libya and Ukraine when their leaders gave up their nuclear weapons, and understood that this was not the way to go.
The regime’s goal is the bomb.
Iran’s Supreme Leader is not just a political figure, but devine with a legitimacy given not by man but by God.
“And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know [but] whom Allah knows. And whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.” (Qur’an 8:60) Sahih International Translation
This verse is used by the IRGC not just as a call for defense, but as a religious endorsement of nuclear armament. In this view, the nuclear bomb is not only permitted, but also necessary. It is both a shield against the regime’s many enemies and a divine tool for the end-times struggle they believe is coming.
Iran’s leadership sees deception not as dishonorable, but as strategic. The doctrine of taqiyya, or religiously sanctioned deception, allows lying to infidels in the name of survival or victory.
The regime’s lack of response to Soleimani’s killing revealed something essential: the mullahs understand only strength.
Iran’s nuclear program must be completely and permanently dismantled. Even if ideology were not part of the equation, the regime’s corruption, mismanagement and incompetence would still make it unfit to operate any nuclear facility. Senior officials are appointed through favoritism, cronyism or family ties. Industry is collapsing. Accountability is nonexistent.
The day we wake up to hear that Iran is about to use its nuclear bomb will be the day the world changes forever.
Iran’s ruling elite, bluntly, evidently believes that both its survival and its mission depend on acquiring nuclear weapons. They saw what happened to Libya and Ukraine when their leaders gave up their nuclear weapons, and understood that this was not the way to go. To Iran’s ruling elite, their nuclear program is not just a policy objective to protect the continuation of their regime, but the centerpiece of Iran’s ideology and propaganda.
Despite having some of the world’s richest oil and gas reserves, the regime has accepted crushing sanctions and economic ruin, all under the excuse of pursuing nuclear power. The regime’s goal is the bomb.
