The day has finally come. A U.S. President has drawn a line in the sand and kept his promise to deal with the growing threats of Iran.

I am not, by any measure, discounting the severity of Donald Trump’s audacious attack on Iran’s nuclear program. People are going to die because of this decision to “obliterate” Iran’s nuclear ambitions. It’s a strong endorsement that I make by supporting Trump’s decision.

Let’s consider the facts. No one in the world in their right mind would feel safer if Iran had a nuclear capability in its arsenal, an ability to make a country disappear from the face of the Earth. And countries are not comforted by Iran’s success in building a nuclear capability. In fact, the deranged ayatollahs would just as soon threaten and use a nuclear weapon on any one of the Sunni Arab states. So, Saudi Arabia and the Arab nations surrounding the Saudis would breathe a sign of relief if an Iranian nuclear threat was quashed.

Israel certainly is concerned, existentially concerned, with Iran’s nuclear program. In fact, a tactical nuclear strike by Iran on Israel seems like a logical move by the ayatollahs. Iran threatens the existence of Israel every day, and what would be easier than using a nuclear device in a war with Israel. Israel’s response to such an event would be World War III.

Countries in the region surely must look upon a denuclearization of Iran as a first step in the never-ending peace talks among concerned countries. Even if Iran is not inclined to use a nuclear weapon, it would use its availability to intimidate non-Shiite regimes.

And what about the US? What comes after a successful development of a nuclear weapon in the region? The probability that Iran could deliver a nuclear weapon across the ocean and strike a US territory would be next on the agenda.

American presidents have given Iran the opportunity to live in peace. Iran has repeatedly taken the dark side of this situation. It continuously supports terror strikes on its perceived enemies which include all non -Shiite countries. Peace is not attainable without first taking the nuclear capability away from the crazy ayatollahs.

What will Iran to next? If the nuclear aspiration of the country is finally squashed it would be useless for Iran to pursue a non-nuclear confrontation with the US and Israel. This will only lead to fear and destruction of peace-loving Iranian people.

If the ayatollahs accept defeat immediately, they might have a chance to keep control of the country with the support of their large army. The Iranian army will be crushed in a fight with the US military.

Finally, will China, Russia and North Korea help Iran? If they want to subsidize a long drawn-out conventional war with the United States and Israel they will support Iran. I think this is a low probability. The attack ordered by Trump is a game changer that increases the US’ standing around the world. Trump is obviously a man who will live up to his promises when he draws a line in the sand.
