New evidence against Iran reveals that they are on a fast track to the manufacturing of nuclear weapons. Iran's President, who continues to threaten to wipe Israel off the map, is again calling claims that Iran has nuclear weapon ambitions "absurd" and said Iran won't retreat “one iota” from its nuclear energy program.

A nuclear-weapons-capable Iran is a direct threat to the life of every Israeli citizen and to the world. The United States must take immediate action. There have been sanctions in place for years; but with their nuclear capabilities revealed, we must ratchet up the pressure - it's time for new, tough sanctions against Iran - focusing on their financial and energy industries - as well as their military.

The ACLJ is working with our allies in Congress to pass current legislation that would bring the hammer down on Iran. Add your name to our petition now.

Petition to Defend Israel, Sanction Iran for Nuclear Weapons

To: Every Member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives

Iran’s determination to destroy Israel and its citizens has always been clear. It is now clear that Iran is equally determined to use nuclear weapons to achieve this horrific aim. The United States cannot allow this to happen. Congress must take immediate action to increase sanctions against Iran’s energy, technology, and military capabilities. We must use sanctions to cripple Iran’s nuclear weapons program before they use those weapons to cripple the free world.
