EXCLUSIVE: Veterans group debuts ad backing Trump's "No Nuclear Weapons, No Exceptions" policy on Iran

One of America’s leading veterans organizations is releasing an ad, obtained exclusively by the Washington Reporter, at a critical juncture for President Donald Trump’s Middle East policy.

The ad, from Veterans on Duty (VOD), has a clear message: “no nuclear weapons, no exceptions” for the Islamic regime.

For years, Trump has taken a hard-line stance against the mullahs in Iran, arguing that they can never be allowed to have nuclear weapons. Trump remained unwavering in that policy during his second term when he rolled out the toughest sanctions that Iran has ever seen.

The ad, VOD said, is part of “a full-scale digital campaign to mobilize our nation's veterans to stand with Israel and push back against the rising isolationist sentiment in Washington.”

The ad praises Trump for his attempts at diplomacy, but notes that Iran failed to take Trump up.

“The Iranian regime has spent decades fueling violence against Americans. A nuclear Iran is a direct threat to our freedoms,” the ad says. “Iran had a chance to make a deal and didn’t take it.”

“Thank you President Trump for standing strong,” it continues. “Now, America’s veterans are uniting with one simple message: No nuclear weapons for Iran. No exceptions.”

VOD’s backup for Trump, however, is notable as a few vocal online voices on the right agitate against any American involvement in the region.

Jeremy Hunt, VOD’s chairman — and a veteran himself — explained that it is precisely because of American interests that further involvement may be needed.

“The regime in Iran has spent decades funding terrorism against American troops, our allies, and countless innocent civilians,” Hunt said. “Let us not forget that the blood of roughly one in every six American combat fatalities in Iraq is on Iran’s hands.”

“A regime that chants ‘Death to America’ and actively plots to assassinate President Trump and other U.S. leaders must never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon,” Hunt continued.
