President Trump’s Iran warning is serious — but Americans need the full facts
Fox News
Americans need verified intelligence on Iran's nuclear program. I'm drawing on our Iraq WMD experience when I make that statement. We need caution against premature military action.
Language suggesting Iran is 'one week away' narrows the political space between deterrence and kinetic action. It conditions the public for urgency. It compresses timelines. And it risks turning technical possibilities into perceived inevitability. Robert Maginnis is a retired U.S. Army officer and the author of 13 books. His latest is "AI for Mankind’s Future."
Subsequent intelligence reporting suggested the damage was significant, though not permanent. Iran’s nuclear program was set back — not eliminated. That distinction mattered then, and it matters even more now.
Today, we find ourselves at another critical moment.
