On Varney & Co., I made it clear: No one wants Iran to construct a nuclear weapon. Not you. Not me. Not any of us. But Iran is going to want to build one if the United States keeps bombing them.

Rand Paul’s take is dangerously naive. Iran’s nuclear ambitions existed long before U.S. strikes—they’ve violated IAEA safeguards for decades, enriched uranium to 60% (far beyond civilian needs), and funded terror proxies. Bombing didn’t create their desire for nukes; it responded to their escalation. Letting Tehran cross enrichment thresholds unchallenged invites catastrophe. The strikes delayed their program, destroyed infrastructure, and forced them to scramble moving stockpiles—exposing their deceit. Deterrence isn’t provocation; it’s the only language this regime understands. Weakness guarantees a nuclear Iran. Strength forces them to recalculate.

@Varneyco Give it a rest. Take the L and move on. The bombing is over.

Bullshit. Iran wants to build one because of their idiotic religious beliefs, and it has nothing to do with us. Everyone is Muslim, or dead, in their world. This foolish shit about "they're being mean because we were mean to them" is naive crap. They want a caliphate. They've always wanted that. And they'll get it with idiotic opinions like this.

@Varneyco Iran wants to build one whether the US bombs or not.

@Varneyco Just stop it Senator. We sent them billions of $$ and that didn’t stop it. They are jihadists, it doesn’t matter what we do or Israel does, they want our destruction. You know that, why are you acting this way?

@Varneyco But if we don't bomb them, they will not want a nuclear weapon? Be nice to islamist fundamentalist and they will be nice to us guys!

@Varneyco Wow, you're eat up with TDS

@Varneyco Or they’re going to build a bomb no matter what because their leaders are ideologically driven and the only way to slow them down is to bomb them.

@Varneyco Holy crap just stop. You are about to be RATIOED big time.🤦🏻

@Varneyco Tell me the last time Iran kept their word about anything? They don’t understand diplomacy. They understand force.
