Important Takeaways:

• Iran has toughened its already belligerent rhetoric and is threatening U.S. forces in the region.
• The aerospace division commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, Gen. Amir Hajizadeh, declared Monday, “The Americans have at least 10 bases and 50,000 forces near Iran. This means they are sitting in a glass room. Someone sitting in a glass room would not throw rocks at others.”
• President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Iran if the regime didn’t agree to a deal to give up their nuclear weapons program.
• Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded, warning, “If they do (bomb), they will definitely receive a firm reciprocal blow.”
• He also called for the destruction of Israel.
• “It’s a religious, moral and human duty for everyone to work toward removing this wicked, criminal entity (Israel) from the region,” he said.
• Despite all the tough talk, the White House is hoping that Iran will come around.
• Ben Cohen, a senior analyst and rapid response director at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, explained that Iran has so much uranium ready for use in nuclear bombs that Israel and the U.S. can’t just sit by.
• “You’ve got a situation now where Iran has got about 275 kilograms of weapons-grade enriched uranium,” Cohen told CBN News. “That is very risky. And so, yes, of course, every day that goes by without some kind of diplomatic resolution whereby Iran effectively surrenders its nuclear facilities and its nuclear program – every day that doesn’t happen, we get closer to a military strike.”
