July 29, 2010

Weapon Program: 

  • Nuclear

Related Country: 

  • Iran

The United States has banned nearly all trade with Iran. We have done so for good reason: the extremists who currently rule Iran are a major threat to the safety and security of their own people and to the rest of the world. 

It is vitally important to the national security of the 
United States and its allies to persuade the Iranian regime to end its quest for nuclear weapons and to end its support for terrorism.
