A bipartisan group of senators unveiled a new Senate resolution Thursday, February 16, that would establish the sense of the Congress that containing a nuclear Iran is not an option, Foreign Policy reported. The resolution “strongly supports U.S. policy to prevent the Iranian government from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability and rejects any policy that would rely on efforts to ‘contain’ a nuclear weapons capable Iran,” and “urges the president to reaffirm the unacceptability of an Iran with nuclear-weapons capability and oppose any policy that would rely on containment as an option in response to the Iranian nuclear threat.” “President Obama is absolutely right that it is absolutely unacceptable for the Iranian theocracy to obtain nuclear capability,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said. “I know that containment might have been viable for the Soviet Union during the Cold War, but it’s not going to work with the current fanatical Islamist regime in Tehran,” said Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), referring to Iran’s sponsorship of international terrorism, its record of proliferation, and its statements calling for the destruction of Israel.
