Prime Minister Netanyahu shows image of Iranian nuclear site

New Revelations Prove Iranian Nuclear Deal Was Dangerous

Reuters reports:

Samples taken by the U.N. nuclear watchdog at what Israel’s prime minister called a “secret atomic warehouse” in Tehran showed traces of uranium that Iran has yet to explain.

Another nuclear site was also identified this week, per Reuters:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that Iran had been developing nuclear weapons at a secret site near the city of Abadeh, but that Tehran destroyed the facility after learning it had been exposed.

 

It was the first time Netanyahu had identified the site, which, he said, was discovered in a trove of Iranian documents Israel previously obtained and disclosed last year.

In an op-ed this week in USA Today, former Senator Joe Lieberman (D-CT) urged 2020 Democratic candidates to abandon their pledge to rejoin President Barack Obama’s dangerous nuclear Iran deal. Lieberman wrote:

From the beginning, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was a bad agreement for the United States and our allies in the region. That's because it only paused Iran’s nuclear project, instead of ending it, and did nothing to stop Iran’s aggression against its neighbors, or its support of terrorism, or its brutal repression of the Iranian people.

 

President Donald Trump saved the world from the worst of the JCPOA when he withdrew America from it last year and imposed broad new economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran and its leaders.

 

…In the Democratic debate this week, I hope the candidates will take a second look at this critically important foreign policy question. They should explain why, if elected president, they would rush the United States back into an agreement that gives Iran a legalized pathway to a nuclear weapon and the means to deliver it, and enables Iran to give even more arms to terrorists and military forces that are hostile to the United States and our allies in the region.

 

…Whether you were for or against the Iran nuclear agreement in 2015 won’t matter on Inauguration Day in 2021. The Trump administration’s maximum pressure campaign is working. I hope Democrats will recognize that inconvenient truth, and use it to find a way to a new and better agreement instead of reviving the flawed, old one.

The RJC agreed with this assessment, stating:

Today is also the perfect time for every Democratic presidential candidate to reverse their pledge to re-enter the deal. Only one candidate running for President has seen Iran for the rogue state that it is – President Donald J. Trump. That is why, when it comes to the safety of the United States, Israel, and the world as a whole, only President Trump can be trusted.

Meadow and Andy Pollack

An Important New Book: Why Meadow Died

A terrible crime took place in February 2018: the shooting at Parkland, Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in which 17 people were killed and 17 others were injured. Meadow Pollack was one of the students who died that day.

Robert Verbruggen writes at National Review:

In their new book Why Meadow Died, Andrew Pollack — whose daughter Meadow perished in the shooting — and education-policy expert Max Eden explain in detail the many warning signs the shooter had given off since his childhood. They leave no doubt that if the county had had sensible policies in place and even minimally competent employees, the shooting would not have happened. They further demonstrate that Broward County’s lax discipline has, perversely, been treated as a model for the rest of the nation because it reduces suspensions, expulsions, and arrests and thereby allegedly slows down the “school-to-prison pipeline.”
