It uses technologies that are directly applicable to the development of an ICBM that could reach the United States.
And the Defense Intelligence Agency has assessed that by 2035, Iran could start producing
those ICBMs that could threaten the United States.
So it's important that we nip these threats in the bud.
A diplomacy with the Iranian regime, which President Trump has tried repeatedly, has failed.
Democrats have tried it.
Republicans have tried it.
The reality is, is that there is no durable diplomatic solution to the Iranian challenge as long as this regime is in power.
And I think President Trump absolutely
acted as a result of that to advance U.S.
interests, because it is in the U.S.
interests that the Iranian regime be gone.
I don't foresee President Trump putting boots on the ground in Iran.
He is demonstrating that this is an air power war.
It is quite different from what happened with Iraq and Afghanistan.
It's a very different model, as you just heard before.
And so I think that this is also not just about the nuclear program.
It's about the missile program.
It's about the Iranian leadership, which is a lethal threat to the United States.
And so it's a much broader mission here.
