Israel At War Day 626

Trump Comes Through

Trump Pulled The Trigger

For weeks I’ve been begging Trump to help Israel take out Iran’s nuclear facilities and seemingly out of nowhere, he did it as we read in a report from the Jewish News Syndicate:

The U.S. military attacked Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump stated.

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan,” Trump wrote. “All planes are now outside of Iran air space.”

“A full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site, Fordow,” he added. “All planes are safely on their way home.”

The prime target was Fordow which was hit with six of the MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator) bombs. Prime Minister Netanyahu said Israel could destroy the facility and Trump said they couldn’t:

Fordow was widely regarded as Iran’s best-defended nuclear site, as it was buried hundreds of feet under a mountain. Those protections raised questions about whether Israel was capable of eliminating the site in the absence of a U.S. attack using large bunker buster munitions delivered from American bombers.

Trump succinctly posted this: Trump also shared a post stating that “Fordow is gone.”

Netanyahu said that he and Trump agreed on their overall feelings:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that “President Trump and I often say: ‘Peace through strength.’ First comes strength, then comes peace. Tonight, President Trump and the United States acted with a lot of strength,” Netanyahu stated.

Another Israeli official thanked the US president as well:

“Today, President Trump proved that ‘Never Again’ is not just a slogan,” stated Danny Danon, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations. “It’s a policy.”

Another critic of Iran was very clear on what just happened and even gave historical context:

“This is a decision that will change Iran, the region and have major implications for America’s position in the world,” stated Jason Brodsky, policy director of United Against Nuclear Iran. “It sends a message to China and Russia, reinforces American credibility and bolsters U.S. deterrence.”

“This is a historic decision by President Trump,” Brosky added. “Every president since Bill Clinton has said Iran can’t get a nuclear weapon. President Trump is the only one to have authorized military strikes to prevent one.”

The Supreme leader of Iran had to be surprised Trump did what he promised:

Ali Khamenei, the Iranian regime’s supreme leader, “has always known the United States has the capability to destroy his nuclear program,” Brodsky stated. “But he has long doubted the American will to do so after a series of underwhelming and non-responses to Iranian provocations since 1979. The U.S. strikes tonight reset the deterrence equation for America in the Middle East in a big way.”

Many supported the strikes, but not everyone liked it.

Mixed Feelings

Some were surprised America finally put their money where their mouth was:

“Wow. The United States has bombed Iran’s nuclear sites,” stated John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point, which is part of the U.S. Military Academy, in New York.

“The program is now set back,” Spencer stated. “Now is the chance for Iran to end the conflict with an agreement to end their nuclear pursuits. President Trump has done what was needed to end the violence.”

US politicians also saw this as a step in the right direction:

“As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by the president,” Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) wrote. “Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities.”

“Good. This was the right call,” stated Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). “The regime deserves it. Well done, President Trump. To my fellow citizens: We have the best air force in the world. It makes me so proud. Fly, Fight, Win.”

Predictably other politicians view the strikes as wrong on many levels:

“Trump’s strikes against Iran are not only unconstitutional but an escalation that risks bringing the U.S. into another endless and deadly war,” wrote Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-Calif.).

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), a libertarian who typically opposes all foreign policy legislation, called the attack unconstitutional.

One Jewish group thinks that this had to be done:

The leaders of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations stated that “this decisive action represents a critical and justified step to confront the existential threat posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.”

“These defensive strikes, executed with precision and purpose, reflect the seriousness of the threat and the necessity of preventing Iran from reaching a nuclear threshold,” the umbrella group’s chair and CEO said. “We commend the United States for its leadership at this historic moment. We commend President Trump in particular for his clear-eyed recognition of the danger and for taking bold, preventative steps that may reshape the strategic landscape for generations.”

They do think Iran will retaliate, though:

The leader also said that they are “deeply concerned about the potential for Iranian-inspired retaliation, both in the region against U.S. forces and allies, and globally against Jewish communities and institutions.”

“We urge heightened vigilance, coordination with security authorities and proactive measures to protect Jewish life and property around the world,” they said.

More Support

One group called the move remarkable:

The Jewish Federations of North America applauded “the decisive and historic action taken to dismantle Iran’s key nuclear facilities, including the critical site at Fordow.”

“We thank President Trump and the brave women and men of the United States Armed Forces for this historic action,” the Federation said. “We could not be prouder to have the United States join together with the State of Israel in defense of the free world.”

They too think that Iran will lash out at Jews and Americans around the globe:

“We are actively coordinating with partners across government and civil society to ensure our communities remain vigilant, prepared and protected at this critical time,” the Federation said.

And still another Jewish organization sees Trump taking care of business:

The Republican Jewish Coalition applauded what its CEO Matt Brooks said was Trump’s “taking historic, decisive action to prevent the terrorist regime in Iran from having a nuclear weapon.”

Brooks was extremely lavish with his praise for Trump and his decision to finally push back on Iran push for nuclear weapons:

“Today’s successful, targeted military action proves once again that nobody has been tougher on Tehran, or a better friend to Israel, than President Trump,” Brooks said. “Tonight will go down in the history books as one of the most consequential orders ever given by a U.S. president. God speed to our heroic war fighters.”

He also feels that we can all breathe a little easier now:

“The world is a far safer place thanks to President Trump,” Brooks added.

I was pleasantly surprised that Trump, as he did when he moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, followed through with his promises. Previous US presidents said that Iran cannot get nuclear weapons and only one did something about it. I believe that Trump will be the beneficiary of Genesis 12:3 which says this:

I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you…(TLB)

I would also encourage you to take the counsel of many in this report and pray for protection against the terrorists who will not likely surrender but unleash all they have left on Jews and those who support them. I agree from Bible prophecy that this is far from over. Iran will never surrender their nuclear program so it will have to be taken from them. Israel will still be the one that goes in and takes out the sites in southwest Iran and nuclear fallout will be massive. See Jeremiah 49:34-39. And the Iranian proxies like Hezbollah will be forced by Iran to attack Israel resulting in the cities of Tyre and Sidon to be destroyed. See Ezekiel 28:20-26. Rather than things settling down, things are lining up for the Psalm 83 war as I have also been saying for a long time. Folks, pray more and more because Iran and its proxies still have stuff in the tank and they intend to use this in a Samson-like attack. Celebrate the US finally helping Israel to end Iran’s nuclear programs as they did yesterday, but Iran is only hardening their resolve and planning on rebuilding what was destroyed. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem because they will need it more now than ever before.
