Oh, and did I mention Iran?..........by Dan Friedman

[Don’t let the turmoil in Egypt obscure the inexorable rise of a nuclear-armed Iran. The two taken together can only compound and intensify the explosive situation already developing in the Middle East since Obama took office. So in the nick of time, PJTV’s Roger Simon reminds us of an important documentary which takes us inside the Iranian regime. df]


THE THREAT OF A NUCLEAR IRAN is looming over America and the world. Despite being party to the international nuclear non-proliferation treaty implemented more than 30 years ago, Iran's leaders are adamant about continuing their pursuit of nuclear weapons.

Iranium, a new documentary film by Clarion Productions, depicts the danger behind the threat. The documentary will be available for free on Tuesday, Feb. 8, on its website. Click here to watch the trailer, and please tell your friends about this important film.

To really understand the severity of this issue, we must know the ideology of Iran's leaders. The 60-minute film uses rarely seen footage of them and interviews with 25 leading experts on Middle East policy, terrorism and nuclear proliferation -- including former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton and PJM writer Michael Ledeen. The film, which also features Iranian dissidents, visually demonstrates the hatred and violence exhibited by Iran's brutal leadership.

The experts interviewed in the film also explain how Iran could use its nuclear arsenal to exert leverage in the Middle East, and it sketches various potential scenarios of an Iran with nuclear weapons. For example, a nuclear Iran would trigger an arms race in the Middle East and have a huge impact on the cost and availability of oil, which would reverberate across the world.

As the film explains: "What happens when a regime that openly desires the destruction of nations obtains nuclear weapons? The world may suffer unthinkable consequences."
