(THE UNITED WEST) President Barack Obama, in his January 20 State of the Union address, stated, “For the first time in a decade, we’ve halted the progress of its nuclear program and reduced its stockpile of nuclear material.”
This assertion is false. Iran continues to pursue its nuclear program unabated, constituting a paramount national security threat to the United States and its allies. The Center for Security Policy will hold a panel discussion on the true state of the Iranian threat, and what Congress must do to prevent Tehran’s realization of its nuclear ambitions.
