Dore Gold, a former Isreali Diplomat, joined with Republican House members Wednesday to discuss the threat posed by a nuclear armed Iran.
"We are in a dangerous position with Iran," said Gold. "The time is five minutes before midnight and we cannot drag this out," Gold added, a reference to the symbolic doomsday clock that tracks the possibility of nuclear weapons use.
House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) stated that he feels concerned and "fears a policy of engagement with Iran will lead down a dangerous path."
The speakers stated that the International Atomic Agency reports a steady growth in low enriched uraninium stocks linked with Iran and that the Islamic Republic is steadily working on the production of warheads.
"The time is now for Congress to in act the strongest sanctions against the regime in Iran," Rep Mike Pence (R-Ind.) said, referring to the proposed Iran Petroleum Sanctions Act. Pence called upon Democrats to support the legislation.
