If Iran attacks Israel again, we will quickly learn who stands where here and overseas. This was precipitated by Iran via Hezbollah. Many of us predicted this and warned about it.
We cannot and Israel cannot tolerate missiles fired into our countries. No country can or will. Indeed, we blow up drug boats headed for our shores, as we should. We militarily slammed Iran when it took out one of our helicopters, and bragged about it. We’ve responded to every single ceasefire violation by Iran with brutal military attacks. Again, as we should’ve.
At this point it should be crystal clear the Iranian terror regime and its terror proxies will never adhere to a deal. Trying to pressure Israel to tolerate terror attacks against its people is immoral and pointless. The last 24 hours proves the enemy is not serious about a deal. That’s unsurprising. Imagine if funds had already been transferred to the regime. It’d be even worse.
Netanyahu is not Neville Chamberlain. He’s no one’s patsy. He refuses to ignore reality. And Israel has suffered horribly from the Iranian regime and its proxies. Virtually every family in that country is involved in its security and affected by casualties. And the casualties have been severe. A tiny country with a tiny population. They can’t capitulate. Nor should they. Nor would we.
We will likely learn much about who stands where in the next 24-48 hours.
I remind you, Iran and Hezbollah have slaughtered and maimed thousands of our fellow Americans, civilian and military, when we were not at war with Iran. It has been at war against us for half a century. Israel alone has fought Hezbollah and taken out scores of its leaders who had bounties on their heads, put there by us. And now we demand Israel back off when attacked.
🇮🇱 NEW: Israeli officials are reportedly “stunned” by President Trump’s public criticism of PM Netanyahu, with one senior official calling it a “resounding slap in the face.”
According to reports, Trump also floated an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon as part of a broader Iran deal, an idea Netanyahu reportedly rejected outright.
Jerusalem’s main concern: a potential U.S.-Iran agreement that could severely limit Israel’s freedom of action in Lebanon. Meanwhile, Israeli leaders have been warned of a “credible possibility” of Iranian missile fire in the coming hours.
