Often lost in the media frenzy is that Iran, unprovoked, initiated hostilities against Israel.
The seeming dispute was not about territory, policy or any disagreement that states normally have. It was about ideology. For nearly five decades, Iran and its proxies have waged a war against Israel and the United States, calling for their destruction. From their point of view, neither country, as “disbelievers,” has a right to exist. Full stop.
No other issue, domestic or foreign, was as consistent, prioritized, or systematically pursued as Tehran’s hostility toward Israel, the country blocking its way to destroying the United States. To that end Iran for decades had been preparing “forward bases” in South America, especially Venezuela.
The JCPOA failed to address the fundamental nuclear threat, focused on temporary technical limits while ignoring the regime’s long-term ambitions, and actually agreeing to a “sunset clause” that would have allowed Iran’s regime legitimately to have as many nuclear weapons as it liked — starting this October.
The Biden administration unfortunately repeated Obama’s errors, perhaps under the illusion that if it were nice to Iran, Iran would be nice back. Instead, Iran seized on its good luck to escalate its uranium enrichment to 60% by April 2021 and near weapons-grade (83.7%) in 2023.
President Trump wisely pulled the U.S. out of Obama’s deal – which, it turned out, had not only been fraudulent but totally illegitmate.
Does the world really want a terrorist state to have nuclear weapons? If you look at the damage Iran has been doing without nuclear weapons, you image the damage it could do with them…. Right now, Israel is on the front line doing what others –whose lives and countries Israel is saving — criticize it for doing. Israel’s actions are not about starting a war; they are about stopping a war that has been underway for 46 years before the theocratic tyranny that initiated it enlarge it even further.
Best of all, China, Russia and North Korea are looking on. …Netanyahu’s and Trump’s resolve is not only creating the opportunity for a new, golden age for the Middle East but possibly also providing a deterrent — remember them? — to other enemies of the West that have expressed wishes for its demise.
President Donald J. Trump’s Churchillian defence of the Free World and the West will place him at the forefront of history. Both he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – ans well as the extraordinary Israel Defence Forces — deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for rescuing the world from one of the most toxic regimes since the Third Reich and the Former Soviet Union. Failure by the Norwegian Committee to do so will probably tell us more about them than about one of the greatest triumphs of all time.
