* Iran's regime has officially declared that it will not abide by any nuclear limits. It is finally admitting out in the open that its ultimate objective has always been to become a nuclear-armed state.
* Its announcement... represents the formal end of Iran's long-standing campaign of deception, in which it pretended to cooperate with international nuclear agreements while secretly expanding its program.
* When Iran claims now that the JCPOA is "dead," it is simply acknowledging that it never had any intention of honoring it in the first place. While the regime publicly claimed to respect the deal, in reality, it was quietly expanding its capabilities, building advanced centrifuges, and enriching uranium far beyond the levels needed for peaceful nuclear energy.
* The idea that Iran can be persuaded through diplomacy or economic incentives to change its behavior has failed time and again.
* The first and most crucial step is to reestablish deterrence.
* In addition to deterrence, the West needs immediately to reimpose and expand sanctions and secondary sanctions -– announcing that countries that do business with Iran may no longer do business with the United States. Unfortunately, Europe remains far behind.
* Appeasement and indecision will only embolden Tehran further. The Iranian regime is going full nuclear, and the West needs to act — swiftly, decisively, and with unity — before removing Iran's nuclear program becomes difficult.

Iran's announcement to the world that it will no longer respect any laws, treaties, or limits on its nuclear program is, in essence, a declaration of war. The regime has always wanted nuclear weapons. The West must tighten sanctions, monitor every step of Iran's program, and maintain credible military options.

Its announcement is not merely a change of rhetoric; it represents the formal end of Iran's long-standing campaign of deception, in which it pretended to cooperate with international nuclear agreements while secretly expanding its program.
