Israel cleared the way, but only Trump can end Iran's nuclear program
President Donald Trump has set the terms for Iran to end the military conflict over its nuclear program: 'UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.' Asked what this post on Truth Social meant, Trump replied, 'That means I've had it. ... Then we go blow up all the nuclear stuff.' Trump's message is clear: Either Iran cries 'amū!' (uncle) and lets the United States dismantle its nuclear facilities, or Trump sends B-2 bombers to do the job from the skies above. It would be entirely appropriate for Trump to deliver the coup de grâce that ends Iran's nuclear ambitions. Four U.S. presidents have declared that Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon, but only Trump set an actual deadline for the program's destruction — giving the regime 60 days to give up nuclear enrichment. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, foolishly let that deadline pass, and on Day 61, Israel's bombing began. Even then, Trump continued to offer Tehran a peaceful way out. But Iran still refuses his outstretched hand. Iranian leaders clearly believe that Israel does not have the capacity to completely destroy their nuclear program — and that if the United States does not join the air campaign, they can ride out the Israeli onslaught, reconstitute their program and resume their race to a bomb. That danger is real. If Iran's deeply buried Fordow fuel enrichment plant is not destroyed by the end of this campaign, Iran could still have the capacity to produce nine nuclear bombs in a matter of weeks, according to weapons expert David Albright. It would have every incentive to do so to prevent another Israeli attack. Without U.S. help, Israel could damage, if not destroy, Fordow. It could take out the facility's electricity source (as the Israelis have in the less deeply buried Natanz nuclear enrichment facility), which would produce an uncontrolled shutdown that might cause some of its centrifuges to crash and self-destruct. Israel could destroy the Fordow ventilation system, which would make it difficult to work so far below ground. The entrances could be targeted to make the facility temporarily inaccessible. Or Israel could launch a dangerous commando raid, sending special operators to try to enter and destroy the facility — a highly risky option. But the only way to permanently disable Fordow is with 30,000-pound GBU-57 A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs. 'The U.S. could drop a couple of bunker-busters, and the ceiling and the main halls would collapse, and it's the end of the story,' Albright told the Tablet magazine. 'Iran could never rebuild it. The rock would be too unstable. They'd have to go someplace else and start anew.' Israel does not have these weapons or the strategic bombers to deliver them. Only the United States possesses such capabilities. Israel has cleared the way for the United States to use them. It has largely disabled Iran's air defenses and now controls the Persian skies. But it is up to Trump to give the order to finish the job. This much is certain: This operation cannot end with any known elements of the Iranian nuclear program intact. To do so — particularly absent U.S. military action — would send a message of weakness to both allies and adversaries across the world. By contrast, a U.S. strike would send a message of strength that would resonate from Moscow to Beijing and Pyongyang. Warnings from the isolationist right that Trump is getting the U.S. involved in another Middle Eastern war are ignorant and overblown. No one is talking about sending 160,000 U.S. troops to occupy Iran like the U.S. did in Iraq. Eliminating Iran's nuclear facilities is more akin to Trump's decision to eliminate Iran's terrorist mastermind Qasem Soleimani in 2020. Indeed, the risk of Iranian retaliation is lower today than it was after the Soleimani strike. Over the past two years, Israel has systematically dismantled Iran's network of terrorist proxies across the region. Iran has also lost its Syrian ally, which means the weapons highway from Iran, through Syria, to Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank has been shut down, while Syria's skies are now being used by Israel and allies to shoot down Iranian missiles. And Iran's ability to fire ballistic missiles is dwindling by the day, as Israel systemically takes out its missile launchers. Iran has never been weaker. Moreover, Iran's leaders know that if Tehran did retaliate against the United States, Trump would decapitate the regime. After the Soleimani strike, Trump sent a message to Iran that if it killed a single American in response, he would kill Khamenei. This week, Trump publicly repeated that threat. 'We know exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding,' Trump declared on Truth Social. 'He is an easy target, but is safe there — We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now.' None of this is to underestimate the complexity of the challenge. The Iranian nuclear program and dispersed and compartmentalized, designed to survive an Israeli-U.S. effort to destroy it. But the die is cast, and we can and must finish what we started. Like his predecessors, Trump has repeatedly declared that 'Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.' Striking Fordow would cement his legacy as the only president who had the will and fortitude to act on that promise. Israel started this operation, but only Trump can finish it.

British Attacks on Free Speech Prove the Value of the First Amendment
Political activists occasionally propose a new constitutional convention, which would gather delegates from the states to craft amendments to the nation's founding document. It's a long and convoluted process, but the Constitution itself provides the blueprint. Article V allows such a confab if two-thirds of Congress or two-thirds of the state legislatures call for one. These days, conservatives are the driving force for the idea, as they see it as a means to put further limits on the federal government. Sometimes, progressives propose such a thing. Their goals are to enshrine various social programs and social-justice concepts. Yet anyone who has watched the moronic sausage-making in Congress and state legislatures should be wary of opening Pandora's Box. I'd be happy enough if both political tribes tried to uphold the Constitution as it is currently drafted. It's a brilliant document that limits the power of the government to infringe on our rights. Without the first 10—the Bill of Rights—this would be a markedly different nation. For a sense of where we might be without it, I'd recommend looking at Great Britain and its approach to the speech concepts detailed on our First Amendment. Our nation was spawned from the British, so we share a culture and history. Yet, without a specific constitutional dictate, that nation has taken a disturbing approach that rightly offends American sensibilities. As Tablet magazine reported, "74-year-old Scottish grandmother Rose Docherty was arrested on video by four police officers for silently holding a sign in proximity to a Glasgow abortion clinic reading 'Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.'" Thousands of Brits are detained, questioned, and prosecuted, it notes, for online posts of the type that wouldn't raise an eyebrow here. The chilling effect is profound. This isn't as awful as what happens in authoritarian countries such as Russia, where the government's critics have a habit of accidentally falling out of windows. But that's thin gruel. Britain and the European Union are supposed to be free countries. Their speech codes are intended to battle disinformation/misinformation, but empowering the government to be the arbiter of such vague concepts only destroys everyone's freedoms. In 1998, Great Britain approved Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. It protects a citizen's "right to hold your own opinions and to express them freely without government interference." But it comes with limits and conditions. The authorities may quash such speech to "protect national security, territorial integrity (the borders of the state) or public safety," or "prevent disorder or crime," or "protect health or morals," or "maintain the authority and impartiality of judges." One may not express "views that encourage racial or religious hatred." Those are open-ended terms, which has led to bizarre prosecutions. Our First Amendment includes these words: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble." A constitutional amendment stating "no law" is more protective than a statute with asterisks and exceptions. With the political Left devoted to limiting speech based on its fixations on race and gender and the political Right's willingness to, say, deport students who take verboten positions on the war in Gaza and malign reporters as enemies of the people, I'd hate to see how speech protections would fare in a refashioned constitution. Traditionally, the Left has taken a "living and breathing" approach, insisting its plain words and founders' intent are up for reinterpretation. Sadly, modern conservatives, who previously defended originalism, seem ready to ditch the Constitution when it hinders their policy aims. Just read their dissing of due process—as stated in the 5th and 14th amendments, when it comes to immigration policy. When asked about habeas corpus during a Senate hearing, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said it's "a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country." It's the opposite, as habeas corpus requires the government to explain why it's detaining people—and forbids it from holding them indefinitely. MAGA apparently believes the words of the Constitution mean the opposite of what they say. Frankly, I wouldn't want either side to be near a constitutional convention that's empowered to rewrite a document penned by men more brilliant and civic-minded than our current lot. "Those who won our independence by revolution were not cowards," wrote Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis in the 1927 free-speech case, Whitney v. California. "They did not exalt order at the cost of liberty. … If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence." We don't need to revisit the Constitution, but to uphold the protections already within it. This column was first published in The Orange County Register.
