Franks Responds to New DOD Report on Iran’s Military
April 20, 2010 — Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-02), a member of the House Armed Services Committee and Chairman of the Congressional Missile Defense Caucus, today responded to the newly released Department of Defense’s Military Power Report on Iran. The report, which was mandated in last year’s National Defense Authorization Act, is designed to provide Congress and the Administration with an assessment of the Iranian regime’s current and future military strategy.
Franks stated, “I am deeply concerned that the DOD’s Military Power Report on Iran leaves conspicuously absent several key factors, including the radical ideology that motivates Iran’s leaders and its military, which should impact the United States’ response to the increasingly belligerent and aggressive Iranian regime. Ignoring key facts about Iran’s conventional and unconventional military strategy could have disastrous implications for our foreign policy toward Iran, the world’s greatest state sponsor of terrorism and, I believe, the greatest threat to freedom and security we face today.
“The last remaining window we have to keep Iran from becoming a nuclear power and transferring that knowledge to terrorists all over the world is rapidly closing. I urge the Administration to adopt every possible sense of urgency when addressing the Iranian threat.”
Congressman Franks has introduced H.R. 3832, the “Peace Through Strength Act,” which would strengthen the United States’ sanctions on Iran and would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and maintain viable military options to prevent the successful development or deployment of nuclear weapons by the Iranian government.
