Israel’s precision strikes on Iran aren’t endless war - they’re a rare case of strategic force serving global security without costing American lives or treasure.

... how are Israel’s actions in blowing up Iran’s nuclear and command/control capabilities any different?...

1. There are no American boots on the ground in Iran, nor are there likely to be...

2. America has been engaged in low-intensity military conflict with the Iranian regime continuously since 1979. Many Americans are too young to recall the Iran Hostage Crisis...

3. Iran has killed many American troops, and by that I mean many American troops...

4. Iran literally has a national holiday called “Death to America Day.”

5. Iran has been working feverishly for years to produce nuclear weapons and has been absolutely unwilling to enter into any international agreement that would fully prevent it from gaining such capability...

6. Iran’s leadership has specifically and repeatedly pledged to use nuclear weapons on Israel...

7. There is no “realpolitik” here. The Iranian mullahs cannot be reasoned with from a position of rational self-interest... Instead, the Iranian government is solely motivated by a vision of Shia Islam forcibly dominating the world...

In summary, Israel is putting its own blood and treasure on the line in a military effort that clearly and unequivocally serves the USA’s national interests.

Iran’s government (not its people) is a crazed long-term foe that is centered on apocalyptic religious zealotry and seeks capabilities that could literally end civilization.

Israel is doing the USA, the world, and civilized peoples everywhere a huge favor by eliminating that risk, and it is bearing the cost almost exclusively by itself...

The fatal flaw in Trump's foreign policy - Trump and his team have the wrong paradigm in mind. Will they come to understand that zealotry is trumping his transactional diplomacy by David M. Weinberg, Israel Hayom, 8 June 2026:

... Trump and his team have the wrong paradigm in mind. They approach everything with a pragmatist, transactional perspective. They see everything through dispassionate business eyeglasses. They think that America's enemies do the same...

What if Russia, Iran, Hamas, and the Houthis (and even the Chinese) are driven by ideological ambitions that go far beyond the calculations of economic and other cold-neutral self-interest? What if these actors are prepared for decades of war against the West, and specifically against Israel, no matter what "great deals" Trump offers them?...

In short, no pragmatic deal offered by the US to Iran nor any further Western sanctions against it are going to knock the Islamic Republic off its radical path...

AFTER OCTOBER 7, all Israeli leaders and most of the Israeli public recognize this; that the set of rules by which the worst actors in the Middle East operate are ideological, attritional, genocidal; not accommodational or transactional...

Israel, Iran, and the Trump Doctrine, by Brian T. Kennedy, American Mind, 18 June 2025:

... Let us be clear: the idea that there will be no new wars, however attractive that may sound, misses the point. We are already in a “People’s War” that the Chinese Communist Party declared in May of 2019 when President Trump committed to stop their theft of America’s intellectual property. Communist China is in a strategic alliance with the Islamic Republic of Iran, which includes massive contracts for oil—some 16% of China’s current imports. The CCP has been instrumental in both advancing Iran’s nuclear program through scientific cooperation with North Korea, and abetting Iran’s terrorist activities throughout the region, including Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel.

President Trump, therefore, has not endorsed the start of a new war. He is engaged in an old war—one that may well be seen, in retrospect, as World War III. He wants to make sure it is won by the United States...

The Islamic Republic of Iran has been at war with the United States for almost half a century. Its enmity for the U.S. was born of our cooperation in the overthrow of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh in 1953 and the restoration of the Shah of Iran until his fall at the hands of the Iranian Revolution in 1979. The overthrow in 1953 was part of a series of Cold War considerations that the United States made with our British allies to check the influence of the Soviet Union in the Middle East and ensure Western access to oil...

The Cold War, clearly misunderstood by so many young Americans today... was a global struggle for primacy...

The United States’s strategy during the Cold War was to promote stability in the Middle East through the hegemonic powers of Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey...

The Iranian regime began the practice of having their schoolchildren recite, “Death to America and Death to Israel.”...

That our war in Iraq was misguided and badly executed does not obviate the fact that, once again, textbook acts of war were committed by Iran against the United States...

The Iranian... have been working closely with the North Koreans for over 40 years on their nuclear weapons program...

As we Americans consider what is good for us, we should calculate that a nuclear attack by Iran on Israel seems less likely than an attack on the United States from a ship-launched ballistic missile, or the importation of a nuclear device by terrorists who would wish our destruction...

How Trump's Iran Strike Exposed Biden's Greatest National Security Failure, by Matt Margolis, PJ Media, 23 June 2025:

... As Mark Tapscott pointed out, that threat now hits closer to home, largely due to Biden’s reckless open border policies. Millions of illegal aliens entered the U.S. between 2021 and 2024—many unvetted, some from hostile nations. The House Homeland Security Committee warned in 2024 that over 390 individuals on the terror watchlist had been caught crossing our border on Biden’s watch.

With Iranian sleeper cells likely embedded across the country, and our enemies emboldened, the stage is set for domestic attacks...

...  Homan began. He cited fresh numbers from Customs and Border Protection, noting, “There was 1,272 nationals of Iran released in the country between OFO and the Border Patrol.”...

... And between ICE and the, the bureau, we've removed thousands of national security threats—because of President Trump's leadership on this.”
