Israel’s ambassador to America issued a dire warning as Iran races to build nuclear weapons while firing missiles at Israeli cities. Yechiel Leiter told Fox News that allowing Iran’s regime to “run loose” with ballistic missiles and atomic bombs would spell disaster for the free world. He stressed that Israel’s survival depends on stopping Tehran’s nuclear ambitions now.
The Iranian regime buried its uranium enrichment site deep inside a mountain at Fordow – a fortress-like facility too strong for conventional bombs. Leiter made clear that destroying this site remains Israel’s top priority, even if it requires U.S.-made bunker busters. Experts say without American help, Israel might struggle to demolish Fordow’s defenses.
Iran launched over 40 ballistic missiles at northern Israel last week, killing three civilians. Ambassador Leiter called these attacks proof that Tehran’s rulers won’t stop until Israel is wiped off the map. He praised Israeli forces for knocking down most incoming missiles but warned that nuclear warheads would change the game entirely.
President Trump previously warned Iran that America “has Israel’s back,” but White House officials now deny plans to join the bombing campaign. Conservatives argue this hesitation plays into the hands of radical mullahs. Leiter insists only total destruction of Iran’s nuclear program can prevent a catastrophic regional war.
If Fordow survives, Iran could produce enough enriched uranium for six bombs within months. Israel’s ambassador called this an existential threat, comparing it to Nazi Germany’s rise in the 1930s. He urged Western leaders to show courage against tyranny before it’s too late.
Critics of the Biden administration say weak nuclear deals gave Iran billions while letting them cheat on inspections. Leiter blasted these failed policies, arguing that appeasement only emboldened terrorists. He thanked President Trump for applying maximum pressure through sanctions.
Patriotic Americans know Iran funds Hamas terrorists who murder innocent civilians. Letting Tehran go nuclear would betray our closest Middle East ally and put U.S. troops at risk. Strong leadership demands supporting Israel’s right to defend itself by any means necessary.
The clock is ticking. Either the free world destroys Iran’s nuclear program, or Iran destroys the free world. As Leiter said, this isn’t just Israel’s fight – it’s a battle for the future of democracy against radical Islamic extremism.
