Why Britain Must Stand with the U.S. and Israel to Stop Iran from Creating a Shiite Empire

(Telegraph-UK) Julie Lenarz - We now have two options: We can see America withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal as a threat. Or, if we're smart, we see it as an opportunity to formulate a new, broader Iran strategy which adequately curbs Tehran's illicit nuclear activity and, at the same time, addresses its malign non-nuclear activity. The mullahs in Tehran never had the intention to use the JCPOA as a means to integrate into the international community and improve the lives of their people. Instead they chose power, terror and deceit, undeniably proven by Israel's recent intelligence bombshell regarding the Iranian nuclear archive. We mustn't let the turbulences over the JCPOA blind us to the need to confront Iran's vision of a new Shiite empire, threats to Israel, and aggression against Arab allies. America and its allies should be clear that Iran will face increased pressure until they pull their troops out of Syria. A permanent Iranian military presence in the country is a recipe for disaster.
