Gov. Perry on Iran
Rick Perry has repeatedly stated our single greatest threat is Iran. Iran's leadership has threatened to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, has imprisoned our citizens and carried out terrorist attacks, and as the IAEA recently reported, aggressively continues to seek nuclear weapons. We now know their actions are not confined to the Middle East.
The Obama administration's policy of engagement has been an abject failure, beginning with its lack of support for the Green Revolution in 2009. Iran is now emboldened to pursue nuclear weapons and to try to attack us at home.
Rick Perry will bring every diplomatic and economic effort to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. As president, Rick Perry will leave every option on the table, including the harshest sanction on the Iranian Central Bank, and military options. The United States must never tie our own hands behind our back.
