The Iranian Threat
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad seeks nuclear weapons.

Iran has refused to halt its enrichment of uranium.

As Iran forges ahead with its quest for a nuclear weapons capability, it is vital for American leaders to speak out forcefully about the urgent need to deal with the looming threat of a nuclear-armed Iran.

A nuclear-armed Iran would constitute a threat to the entire world, spurring nuclear proliferation in the Middle East and around the globe while fundamentally altering the strategic balance of the region. While Iran continues to advance its nuclear program, there are still important economic, diplomatic and political steps the United States and international community can take to prevent a nuclear Iran.
