Brian T. Kennedy, president of the American Strategy Group, chairman of the Committee on the Present Danger: China, and a board member and senior fellow of the Claremont Institute, talks about his recent piece at Claremont’s American Mind, “A Defense of the President’s Strategy in Iran.” Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons is a serious concern, with Brian Kennedy arguing that the President's strategy is focused on preventing the Islamic Republic from acquiring these capabilities, rather than regime change. He emphasizes that the President's stance is not about regime change, but rather about ensuring that Iran cannot pose a nuclear threat to the United States or its allies. He also emphasizes the role of Red China and Russia in Iran's nuclear ambitions.
