“A nuclear Iran will lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, the threat of long-range missiles in Europe, and the arming of the Latin continent in the United States’ backyard.
Venezuela is Iran’s advance outpost on the Latin American continent. The two countries have joined together to create an axis of conventional and nuclear terror [that threatens] not only the Middle East, but also the continent of America, and the United States in particular.”
