The Fate of Iran’s Nuclear Program

Much highly enriched uranium was likely removed before U.S. bombs hit. If the U.S. was going to attack anyways, striking earlier may have prevented this.

Trump Bombs Iran’s Nuclear Sites | Bari Weiss, Haviv Rettig Gur, Eli Lake, & More

If the U.S. wanted the Israel-Iran war to end, one strategy to end it was to use U.S. bunker busters to destroy nuclear sites, helping Israel achieve their goals and end the war sooner. Time will tell whether this strategy worked.

God bless America – Goodbye Islamic Iran, the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany

“for anyone who…says America use[s] its power only for selfish interest or foreign interests, let me ask you one simple question…Which countries would you rather live in? Those that were on America’s side or those on the other side? Would you rather live in North Korea or South Korea? In communist East Germany or democratic West Germany, in the Soviet Union or the United States? In Taliban controlled Afghanistan or US-led Afghanistan?…when you cut through all the noise, America fights for freedom.”

US Airstrikes Hammer Iran

Despite damage, the Iranian nuclear program is not destroyed and they can rebuild if they choose to. They likely removed much material from the underground sites before the U.S. strikes. Because the Israeli strikes started a week before the U.S. strikes, that gave Iran a week to disperse their material and equipment.

Trump’s Syrian Outreach Turns an Enemy Into a Friend

“the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued a three-page waiver lifting almost all economic sanctions on Syria unconditionally.”

“the Syrian government handed back the old U.S. ambassador’s residence to Thomas Barrack, who serves as both U.S. ambassador to Turkey and special envoy to Syria.”

“a waiver isn’t a permanent end to sanctions. The sanctions imposed by Congress have to be lifted by Congress…Secretary of State Marco Rubio testified to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that it should do exactly that.”

Opinion | Iran’s Target Isn’t Just Israel. It’s Us.

“Iran is the most aggressive and dangerous totalitarian force of our time. Its leaders seek to weaken and destroy free society, democracy and human rights with Russian and Chinese support. In Iran, women are systematically oppressed and abused. Homosexuals are murdered. Those who think differently are imprisoned and tortured. In Tehran, the cynical abuse of the civilian population in Gaza as human shields is also cold-bloodedly conceived and financed.

According to official state doctrine, the primary goal of the mullahs in Tehran is the annihilation of the State of Israel. Ayatollah Khamenei has described Israel as a “cancerous tumor.” And clocks in the streets of Tehran celebrate countdowns to the “destruction of Israel.”

But Israel is only the first target. Once Israel falls, Europe and America will be the focus. Radical Sunni and Shiite Islamism has been preparing for this for decades. The fatwa against Salman Rushdie, 9/11, the attacks in Paris, the caliphate of ISIS — each event was a warning sign. Only those who did not want to see the signs are surprised today. The attacks are directed against our values, our way of life.”
