The moral clarity you describe, which I see as the underlying “theme” of it, is wonderfully refreshing! Its lack of moral ambiguity will likely offend the sensibilities of the usual suspects, but it has never been more needed!
Imagine what will become of America’s lack of moral clarity when Iran gets the bomb. I fear the only manner in which they will not become “nuclear” is if Israel decides it wishes to “take out” (if possible!) Iran’s means of achieving it!
Unless Trump is President when they decide they must, such a plan would be frantically resisted by America’s foreign policy denizens. Hell, it is uncertain if even Trump would support it, being that he is an unpredictable pragmatist!
I like your plan. You mention US "leniency" toward Iran, but it seems more than that. The Obama and Biden administrations have encouraged Iran's march toward nuclear weapons. I have never heard a good explanation of this policy - even from their point of view. What on earth could they be trying to accomplish? If anyone can tell me, I am all ears.
This does seem to be a time when force is necessary in protecting the individual rights of not only Americans but people all around the world. Iran with its proxies and its allies work to destroy individual rights in particular for Israel and those that support Israel.
We are now at 45 years and counting from when a decisive show of force by Jimmy Carter would have eliminated this threat in its infancy. Look how massively this weed has grown in that time and how many lives and how much property has been lost because of it. And how much of our freedom we have given up (it used to be fun to fly). The same corrective action is still available to us, but at significantly greater cost. Imagine what another 45 years will bring.

Excellent “reminder!”
