Bomb Iran

Bomb Iran

Erick-Woods Erickson

Yesterday, Iran launched over 200 ballistic missiles at Israel in several waves. Only one person died. His death was caught on a CCTV. The Palestinian man was on a street corner and a piece of a missile fell on top of him. (Yes, the footage is real)

Because Iran’s 200 missiles were either successfully intercepted and missed their targets, progressives insist Israel must limit its response. Instead, Israel should ruthlessly bomb Iran because Iran has shown us three dangerous things.

First, Iran has shown us that it would rather attack through terrorist proxies around the world. Iran has limited capacity to mount effective counter-attacks. Instead, Iran funds and trains deadly terrorist entities. Hezbollah has killed thousands, including many Americans, Europeans, and Arabs. Even now, Iran is trying to fund assassins to kill Donald Trump and other Americans.

Second, Iran has shown it has the capability and capacity to launch ballistic missiles that cannot just reach Tel Aviv, but also Amman, Riyadh, Manama, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai.

Third, Iran has shown its desire to acquire nuclear technology to build warheads on top of those missiles.

Iran is not a threat directly. But Iran has repeatedly, for decades funded indirect, violent and deadly threats. The danger is that Iran wishes to operate through proxies and will use a nuclear arsenal as a cudgel. Should any nation attempt to stop its proxies, then Iran will launch nukes.

Either let the terrorists terrorize or risk a mushroom cloud — that is Iran’s game. It is too dangerous a game to play.

Israel should immediately work to take out Iran’s nuclear capability. Bomb them back to the dark ages when Iran first relied on wind and solar power.

If Iran is allowed to arm itself with nuclear weapons, it will demand the world bow to its proxy terrorist organizations. We cannot allow that to happen and Israel is in the best position to stop them.

Hezbollah is neutered in the north. Hamas is neutered in the south. Israel has shown it can withstand hundreds of Iranian missiles. But it will not be so fortunate with nuclear missiles aimed in its direction. Either defang Iran now, or never be rid of radical Islamic terrorists funded by Iran as proxies for its power.
