This week, I want to address what most Nebraskans and Americans have been watching on national television: the United States’ recent action against the Iranian regime’s nuclear weapons program. I also want to detail the grave and growing threat Iran poses to Americans.
As chair of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, I oversee our military’s nuclear and strategic forces, arms control and non-proliferation programs, and ballistic missile defense. This portfolio gives me a deep understanding of the danger Tehran’s nuclear ambitions pose to our national security.
Iran has repeatedly called for “Death to America” – this has been chanted by the nation’s leaders and their proxies in the streets, written into the nation’s doctrine, and etched into its strategy since 1979.
