Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Senator Kennedy Says Iran Took “Baby Steps” Toward Restarting Nuclear
Caption: Senator Kennedy Says Iran Took “Baby Steps” Toward Restarting Nuclear. Republican Senator John Neely Kennedy says U.S. intelligence shows Iran had begun taking what he called “baby steps” to revive its nuclear program — a development he argues, justified the recent military operation ordered by Donald Trump alongside Israel - According to Politico. Speaking on Fox News, Kennedy claimed Iran was producing between 200 and 600 missiles each month and planned to build a stockpile capable of threatening the entire Middle East. According to the senator, the goal of the strikes is not to start a war, but to prevent one. Democrats, including Senator Mark Warner, dispute that assessment. Warner says the intelligence he reviewed showed no immediate threat to the United States or Israel and questioned the administration’s overall strategy. Kennedy, however, said the plan discussed in classified briefings is clear: target Iran’s naval and air forces, destroy missile and drone production sites, and weaken the infrastructure of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Kennedy predicted the conflict could last only weeks and said he does not expect U.S. ground troops to be deployed.
