A rogue and defiant regime in Iran has continued to violate United Nations Sanctions and nuclear non-proliferation treaties. They have circumvented International Atomic Energy Agency inspections and have made claims that their nuclear program is peaceful. Meanwhile they are playing the clock and time is running
