Three key factors made an Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities a viable option today, but what happens after the strike?

Israel has demonstrated the best of itself: excellence, creativity, daring, sophistication, and the willingness of its younger generation to make the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of the generations to come.

The catastrophic October 7 assault, launched unilaterally by Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar before the Iranian noose had fully tightened, may have spared Israel from a far greater calamity.

Israel was reborn to ensure that Jews would never again be passive victims of history’s storms. The lesson of Jewish sovereignty is not that power corrupts, but that powerless virtue is not enough.

Americans must understand that, sometimes, especially when facing maniacal Jihadi dictators, a little bit of short-term war is the best way to get a whole lot of long-term peace.

Israel helped shape this new Middle East. But now, it’s not even in the room.

The cult of revolution is only one side of the crisis. There is another, quieter betrayal that unfolds not in manifestos and murals, but in diplomatic receptions and billion-dollar endowments.

Even as former President Donald Trump threatens military action against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, it is clear that the priority is a deal and not a confrontation.

The US–Israel alliance is approaching an inflection point: Preserving its strength will require more than rhetoric – it demands bipartisan resolve, strategic clarity, and a recognition that America’s credibility in the Middle East still matters.
