<p>CNN’s Van Jones warned progressives to “get on board” with President Donald Trump’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’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 “normal country” when it came to implementing foreign policy.</p>

<p>“I was also in the Holy Land very recently,” 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>“I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is,” Jones observed. “Iran is not a normal country. Normal countries don’t blind women because they showed some hair. They don’t empower little gangs and proxies to surround a country and fire rockets and rape people.”</p>
<p>“So Iran — two things are clear,” Jones declared. “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’re progressives — at least one should offend you.”</p>
<p>“And so the question, though, is the who and the how,” he continued. “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.”</p>
<p>“We cannot have a nuclear-armed Iran,” Jones insisted, again recounting his time in Israel. “This is a very dangerous power that cannot get a nuclear weapon.”</p>
