President Biden’s Mischaracterization of Iran’s Nuclear Facilities

(New York, NY) – United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) Chairman Governor Jeb Bush and CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace released the following statement today following President Biden’s mischaracterization of Iran’s nuclear facilities: 

“There is no legitimate civilian purpose to the Iranian regime’s nuclear enrichment program. Tehran’s nuclear program is controlled and run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Ayatollah Khamenei’s ideological paramilitary organization – a designated foreign terrorist organization.

“Its nuclear facilities, where uranium is enriched to high levels, are important military assets for the IRGC. After Iran’s regime launched the largest ballistic missile attack in history against Israel — including over the civilian metropolis of Tel Aviv — Israel and the United States must respond and strike back at the Iranian regime’s military, intelligence, IRGC, and nuclear facilities.

“As Khamenei threatens the existence of Israel, to suggest that the Islamic Republic’s military nuclear facilities should be shielded from responsive strikes is not only inappropriate but morally bankrupt as the Israeli people face an existential threat from the clerical regime. Respectfully, we insist that President Biden correct, amend and retract his statements attempting to shield the Iranian regime’s nuclear facilities.”
