Why Iran's Nuclear Program Must Be Stopped
Think for yourself. Subscribe to The Free Press today: https://thefp.pub/3DmLpLi The eyes of the world are on Iran and Israel—and on the waves of strikes that began early Friday morning when Israel hit nuclear facilities, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military bases, missile launchers, and commanders’ residences in Iran. At the heart of the conflict is Iran’s nuclear ambitions. That’s something my guest on Conversations with Coleman this week has been focused on for years. Mark Dubowitz is the CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. He has advised several administrations on Iran sanctions and broader strategic policy. We spoke several weeks ago, but the issues we discussed are essential to understanding the current clash: Everything from the science of uranium enrichment and the history of Iran’s regime to the differing Obama, Trump, and Biden policies on containment. Mark laid out the stakes of preventing a nuclear-armed Iran—not just for the United States, but for global stability— and the consequences of getting it wrong. Our conversation is now more important than ever to understand the context for the articles and commentary that you’re going to see over the next weeks and months. Check out our conversation here.
Conversations with Coleman is home to honest conversations with leading intellectuals on polarized issues in the realm of race, politics and culture in the West.
