\"The<\/p>\n

Iran’s tyrannical regime has been secretly building nuclear warheads for missiles that can fire more than 3,000km, according to new chilling docs.<\/p>\n

Satellite pictures have uncovered three sites that\u00a0Iran’s<\/a>\u00a0leaders claimed were being used as part of a space initiative.<\/p>\n

Humiliated by recent\u00a0defeats of its terror proxies<\/a>\u00a0and weakened by the downfall of\u00a0Syria’s<\/a>\u00a0dictatorship, Iran’s regime has ramped up repression.<\/p>\n

The Sun reported last week how Iran’s merciless leaders have ordered a surge in executions – including of\u00a0two political prisoners on trumped-up charges<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Iran is now believed to have accelerated its\u00a0nuclear weapons<\/a>\u00a0development and is building terrifying nuclear warheads for solid-fuel missiles with a range exceeding 1,800 miles (3,000km).<\/p>\n

Trump Can See Off the Ayatollahs Without Firing A Shot<\/h3>\n

\"The-Telegraph\"<\/p>\n

On January 23, 1963, at the height of the Cold War,\u00a0President John F. Kennedy<\/a>\u00a0wrote to Jean Monnet: \u201cAmerica and a united Europe, working in full and effective partnership, can find solutions to those urgent problems that confront all mankind in this crucial time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though those problems have changed markedly over the past six decades, Kennedy\u2019s statement remains true today.<\/p>\n

President Trump\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0second term in office presents an opportunity for the US, UK, and EU member states to unite in confronting common threats, among the chief of them being the Islamist dictatorship that rules Iran.<\/p>\n

In his first week in power, Trump has affirmed the global consensus that\u00a0Iran\u00a0<\/a>cannot be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. Now is the time for the West to act on that consensus.<\/p>\n
