Col Richard Kemp: Nuclear Armed Iran Would Represent The Greatest Threat To Western CivilizationPosted on April 21, 2025 Col. Richard Kemp on Life, Liberty and Levin. “I think a nuclear armed Iran would represent the greatest threat to Western civilization and of course to the Middle east that’s ever existed since the Second World War. And that’s partly because of the potency of nuclear weapons, and it’s partly because of the mentality of the Iranian fanatical jihadist regime. They’re not like the Russians. They’re not like China even. They’re not a country that is amenable to reason or indeed to the concept of mutual assured destruction, which you mentioned earlier. If they have a nuclear weapon and we believe they intend to use it, we’ve got to assume that that’s a very real danger. “
