<p>Actor John Cusack abandoned all efforts at self-preservation when he declared that Iran &#8220;should get&#8221; a nuclear weapon and claimed that doing so would be &#8220;the only way&#8221; to truly keep the United States and Israel in check.</p>
<p>Cusack, who has often been critical of administrations run by both major political parties, claims first and foremost to be &#8220;anti-war&#8221; — a position he describes more as &#8220;pro-troops and pro-human&#8221; because he&#8217;d prefer to see all troops returned home and an end to the killing. Despite that position, he took to X on Friday to argue that the world&#8217;s largest state sponsor of terror should have access to the most dangerous weapon in existence — even though Iran has <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/world/middleeast/israel-nuclear-iran-threat.html">called</a> for Israel to be &#8220;wiped off the map&#8221; and frequently uses &#8220;death to America&#8221; as a rallying cry.</p>
<p><strong><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-75638">JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free</a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Iran will surely rush to get a nuclear weapon — and they should get one — it’s the only way to deter US and Israel from bombing every country in Middle East,&#8221; Cusack posted just days after the United States military executed targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.</p>
<p>The American strikes, in combination with a series of attacks carried out by the Israel Defense Forces against military and nuclear targets in Iran, were all aimed at the same objective: preventing a rogue Islamist state from acquiring nuclear weapons. In response to the attacks, Iran fired missiles indiscriminately at civilian populations in Israel, attempting to overwhelm the Iron Dome&#8217;s defense capabilities – and, in some cases, succeeding.</p>
<p>Cusack&#8217;s commentary over the last several years has been blatantly anti-Israel. He has repeatedly claimed that the situation in Gaza amounts to a genocide, <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/john-cusack-rejects-antisemitism-accusations-as-complete-lies/">denying</a> mass rape perpetrated by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, who slaughtered 1,200 Israelies and sparked the ongoing war.</p>
<p>He also referred to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as &#8220;a murderous gangster&#8221; — but had no such words for the terrorists who entered Israeli homes, <a href="https://www.ynetnews.com/culture/article/sknpqcl5a">labeling</a> Hamas as a &#8220;charity organization&#8221; in past posts on X. He made no mention of the Israelis who remain hostage in Gaza, subjected to as yet unknown tortures at the hands of their Iranian-backed captors.</p>
<p>&#8220;Blind allegiance for Israel is alliance to a genocidal regeme — it’s a nation state — run [b]y a murderous gangster — not some fixed star,&#8221; he claimed.</p>
