Florida Governor Raises Serious Concerns Over Trump’s Talks with Tehran
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is cautioning against any effort to strike a nuclear deal with Iran, warning that the radical Islamic regime cannot be trusted under any circumstances.
In a recent interview with conservative host Mark Levin, DeSantis declared, “Trying to cut a deal with Iran is hazardous. This is not a traditional government—it’s a militant theocracy with a dangerous worldview.”
“They Can’t Be Trusted” – DeSantis Takes Firm Stance
DeSantis didn’t hold back. “Iran is not acting in good faith. Not in any way, shape, or form. They cannot be allowed to enrich uranium—period. End of story.”
He pointed out the fundamental danger of Tehran’s ideology, which he says differs drastically from past nuclear threats. “Unlike the Cold War, where the Soviets feared nuclear war, Iran’s leaders welcome it. They believe martyrdom brings heavenly reward.”
Trump Pushes for a New Deal—DeSantis Pushes Back
President Donald Trump, who withdrew the U.S. from the Obama-era Iran deal in 2018, has made headlines by reopening diplomatic channels. Earlier this year, Trump sent a message to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei expressing his desire for a peaceful resolution—“very soon.”
While Trump remains tough on foreign threats, DeSantis is urging extreme caution. “You don’t give radicals the benefit of the doubt,” the Florida governor said. “This is a regime that funds terrorism and openly threatens our closest allies.”
Middle East Allies Voice Fears of Retaliation
Reports confirm that during Trump’s recent tour of the Middle East, leaders from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE warned against attacking Iran’s nuclear sites. Their concern? Massive retaliation. All three nations host U.S. military bases and could become immediate targets.
Even Israel, America’s strongest ally in the region, has clashed with Washington on the issue. President Trump reportedly advised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to hold off on military action while negotiations were still underway.
Intelligence Disagrees on the Threat Level
In testimony earlier this year, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told Congress that Iran has not officially restarted its nuclear weapons program since suspending it in 2003. However, critics argue that Tehran has a long history of deception—and that waiting could prove disastrous.
DeSantis: “Israel Is the Foundation of the West”
Beyond the immediate nuclear threat, DeSantis praised Israel as central to the values and heritage of Western civilization. “You can trace Western values all the way back to ancient Israel. Without it, there would be no United States of America,” he stated.
For DeSantis, the issue is not just strategic—it’s spiritual and civilizational. “We’re not just defending an ally. We’re defending our cultural roots and our moral compass.”
Bottom Line: Appeasement Is Not an Option
As the Trump administration pursues a deal, Governor DeSantis’s message to the American people is clear: Strength is the only language the Iranian regime understands. Appeasement risks everything—national security, global stability, and America’s standing in the world.
