<p>CNN&#8217;s Van Jones warned progressives to &#8220;get on board&#8221; with President Donald Trump&#8217;s position on Iran — namely that the Islamist state cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon of any kind.</p>
<p>Jones, who served in former President Barack Obama&#8217;s administration as the Green Jobs Czar, spoke from his own experience visiting Israel and argued that the United States could not treat Iran as a &#8220;normal country&#8221; when it came to implementing foreign policy.</p>

<p>&#8220;I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is. Iran is not a normal country. Normal countries don‘t blind women because they showed some hair.… <a href="https://t.co/HFQloc2Gwg">pic.twitter.com/HFQloc2Gwg</a></p>
<p>— Jason Cohen 🇺🇸 (@JasonJournoDC) <a href="https://twitter.com/JasonJournoDC/status/1936458003030720560?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 21, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;I was also in the Holy Land very recently,&#8221; Jones said during a panel discussion that also included Republican commentator Scott Jennings — who just returned from Israel days earlier after spending more than a week in and out of bomb shelters after Iran lobbed barrage after barrage of missiles.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is,&#8221; Jones observed. &#8220;Iran is not a normal country. Normal countries don&#8217;t blind women because they showed some hair. They don&#8217;t empower little gangs and proxies to surround a country and fire rockets and rape people.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So Iran — two things are clear,&#8221; Jones declared. &#8220;The what — they cannot have a bomb. And the why — because they say death to America, death to Israel, and death to all the Jews. One of those should offend you if you&#8217;re progressives — at least one should offend you.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And so the question, though, is the who and the how,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Is Israel going to take out this nuclear capacity by dropping people there who blow it up? Or is America going to take it out by dropping a bomb that blows it up? But the what and the why are clear, and I think progressives should get on board with that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We cannot have a nuclear-armed Iran,&#8221; Jones insisted, again recounting his time in Israel. &#8220;This is a very dangerous power that cannot get a nuclear weapon.&#8221;</p>
