The six-page document advocates ending nuclear negotiations and pursuing joint U.S.-Israeli strikes against Irans nuclear infrastructure. Though thinly veiled as a policy analysis, the brief reads more like a soft launch for a war strategy. Heritage has long played a predictive role in Trump-era foreign policy. Its reports and recommendations often find their way into official doctrine, especially on issues involving Israel and Iran. Thats what makes this document, titled Eradicating Irans Nuclear Program, so significant: it not only outlines what Washington should do, but when and how it should do it. It opens with a glaring historical error, stating that The Islamic Republic of Iran has had a nuclear program since the 1950s, with a military dimension beginning in the late 1980s. Iran was a monarchy until 1979, when a grassroots revolution brought about a change in leadership. More troubling, however, are its prescriptions. The authors endorse the Trump administrations current posture, insisting the U.S. uphold the red line set by Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff: that Iran will not be allowed to retain even 1% of an enrichment capability. Tehran has dismissed this demand as a non-starter.
