Bauer, Director Iran's Threat To America IIYesterday, we reported on the threat Iran poses to the United States domestically through its terrorist proxy Hezbollah. Today, there are several reports warning that Iran has taken aggressive steps in recent weeks that pose increasing threats to U.S. forces in the Middle East.The New York Times ( [link removed](?x-mi:(?%3C=href=)[%5Cs]*[ ) writes that Iranian forces are positioning ballistic missiles in Shiite-controlled areas of Iraq. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) said, "People are not paying enough attention to the fact that ballistic missiles in the last year have been placed in Iraq by Iran with the ability to project violence on the region." In addition, CNN ( [link removed](?x-mi:(?%3C=href=)[%5Cs]*[ ) adds that the Pentagon has been gathering "consistent intelligence" on the movement of Iranian forces and weapons. No doubt it was this intelligence that led Gen. Kenneth McKenzie ( [link removed](?x-mi:(?%3C=href=)[%5Cs]*[ ), commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East, to warn recently that another Iranian attack similar to the recent strike on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities was "very possible."Meanwhile, Britain, France and Germany are sounding the alarm on Iran's continued development of nuclear-capable ballistic missiles ( [link removed](?x-mi:(?%3C=href=)[%5Cs]*[ ). In a letter to U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres, ambassadors from the three nations warned that Iran's weapons proliferation was "inconsistent" with past U.N. resolutions.Israel's Blue and White Party leader Benny Gantz applauded Europe's recognition of the growing threat from Tehran and urged additional action. In a tweet, Gantz wrote: "I greatly appreciate the letter sent by the French, British and German ambassadors in the U.N. regarding Iran's ballistic missiles, which can carry nuclear warheads long distances. Sadly, this information is nothing new."The Iranian regime never ceases in its efforts to attain weapons of mass destruction and the ability to launch them. The Europeans can also see that Iran is a danger to world peace and the stability of the Middle East. "It is time to move from letters to actions. It is time to make the sanctions on Iran significantly harsher."Christians United for Israel Action Fund is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization, donations are not tax deductible for federal income tax purposes.
