The nuclear threat from Iran's rogue regime has not abated.
In fact, despite a vigorous 'charm offensive' by their new president - and the Obama administration's insistence that diplomatic discussions are going well - the threat has only been growing.
Last week, USA Today reported that Iran's nuclear program has shortened its 'break-out window' - the amount of time needed to produce enough weapons-grade uranium to build a nuclear weapon - to less than a month.
Yesterday, the former deputy director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency offered a similar assessment, warning that Iran's nuclear program has passed the "point of no return" and suggesting the break-out window may be as little as two weeks.
And just today, the Times of Israel reports that a top Iranian lawmaker vowed that the Tehran regime will not suspend uranium enrichment - nor will it stop the custom of chanting 'death to America' at public gatherings!
Yet in the face of this escalation, leading members of President Obama's team have repeatedly signaled a lack of resolve.
On Sunday, the New York Times reported that National Security Advisor Susan Rice's new Middle East policy envisions a nuclear deal with Iran and includes no demands that Iran suspend nuclear enrichment.
Secretary of State Kerry, in comments widely understood as a rebuke of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, belittled concerns about a nuclear Iran.
And members of the Obama administration have pressured the Democrats who dictate the agenda of the U.S. Senate to stall action on the Nuclear Iran Prevention Act, a vital economic sanctions bill that has already passed the GOP-controlled House of Representatives with broad bipartisan support and is currently awaiting further action by the Senate Banking Committee.
TAKE ACTION
Call your U.S. Senators and urge that they ask Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Banking Committee Chairman Tim Johnson (D-SD) to allow action on the Senate's version of the Nuclear Iran Prevention Act.
Information about how to contact your U.S. Senators can be found HERE or by calling 202-224-3121.
Senators are more responsive to their own constituents, so we encourage you to alert friends and family members in other states and ask them to contact their Senators as well.
