Israel and US Crush Iran’s Nuclear Threat

On June 13, 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, striking Iran’s nuclear facilities to end a decades-long threat. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, addressing a shaken world, declared: “At the beginning of the operation, I promised you that Iran’s nuclear facilities would be destroyed, one way or another. This promise was kept.”

With U.S. support under President Trump, this bold action was not just a strategic triumph; it was a civilizational stand, restoring moral clarity to a world dulled by inaction. The message is clear: Jewish survival is non-negotiable, and the era of empty warnings, UN condemnations, and European doublespeak has crumbled under decisive resolve.

For 46 years, the State of Israel has pleaded, warned, briefed, and begged the world to take the Iranian threat seriously. For years, the world offered nods, deals, and shrugs. The result? A regime that arms terrorist proxies, indoctrinates youth militias, exports hatred of Jews across continents, and pursues a nuclear weapon under the world’s nose. Evil did not knock politely; it had sponsors and funding. And it had silence from the so-called civilized world.

Evil left unchecked does not fade; it metastasizes.

The strikes were not acts of revenge; they were acts of responsibility. For too long, the world has conditioned Jews to respond to violence with silence, sorrow, a shaken head, and a memorial candle. Let every enemy of Zion take note: From the deserts of Judea to the skies over Tehran, there is no safe harbor for genocidal ambition. And let every Western leader understand: hesitation is no longer neutrality; it is betrayal.

Iran was never just Israel’s problem; it was the free world’s ticking clock.

I said in an earlier op-ed: If you care more about uranium centrifuges than Israeli children, your compass is broken. The free world must not only admire Israel’s courage; it must also emulate it. History does not remember the hesitant; it remembers the righteous because a world that cannot protect its Jews will eventually fail to protect itself.

A moral awakening of the free world, to defend, to endure, to prevail.

This war is not about land. It is about life. It is about declaring, with force and finality, that the Jewish people will never again be passive participants in their own survival.

For decades, we said, “Never Again.” But that slogan is not a lullaby. It is a promise, and promises, like deterrence, must be enforced. History will record that the United States did not flinch, did not falter, and did not abandon its moral principles when it mattered most. Trump’s decision to back Israel’s resolve was not merely bold. It was righteous. It was necessary. And it was just.

In an age of diplomatic cowardice, moral clarity is revolutionary. The Lion of Judah no longer sleeps.

Am Yisrael Chai. God bless Israel. God bless America.
