I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran “deal,” being pushed by some voices in the administration.

President Trump’s decision to strike Iran was the most consequential decision of his second term. He was right to do so, and we achieved extraordinary military results—including destroying all of their missiles & drones and sinking their entire navy.

If the result of all that is to be an Iranian regime—still run by Islamists who chant “death to America”—now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake.

The details are still coming out—and I pray the early reports are wrong—but the fact that Biden’s Rob Malley is praising the deal is not encouraging.

President Trump believes in peace through strength, and his strong leadership has already made America much safer. He should continue to hold the line, defend America & enforce the red lines he has repeatedly drawn.

[Jared Isaacman @rookisaacman]

@JDVance At least to me...America First means making sure a regime with an advanced nuclear program that openly chants 'Death to America' never gets a nuclear weapon. So far, it seems the IDF is doing solid work to ensure that doesn’t happen.

[Bentzion Levinson @BentzionLev]

Our borders have failed us.

Millions of illegal people entered through the southern border over these past few years.

Israel's border with Gaza collapsed on Oct 7th and thousands were murdered.

The way to solve this is good policy and good technology.

Everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire World, in the Middle East - But it’s all talk, and no action! Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity. Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!

September 27th is the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough.

I have spent countless hours studying Hezbollah and there is not an expert on earth who thought that what Israel has done to decapitate and degrade them was possible.

This is significant because Iran is now fully exposed. The reason why their nuclear facilities have not been destroyed, despite weak air defense systems, is because Hezbollah has been a loaded gun pointed at Israel. Iran spent the last forty years building this capability as its deterrent.

President Trump would often say, “Iran has never won a war but never lost a negotiation.” The Islamic Republic’s regime is much tougher when risking Hamas, Hezbollah, Syrian and Houthi lives than when risking their own. Their foolish efforts to assassinate President Trump and hack his campaign reek of desperation and are hardening a large coalition against them.

Iranian leadership is stuck in the old Middle East, while their neighbors in the GCC are sprinting toward the future by investing in their populations and infrastructure. They are becoming dynamic magnets for talent and investment while Iran falls further behind. As the Iranian proxies and threats dissipate, regional security and prosperity will rise for Christians, Muslims and Jews alike.

Israel now finds itself with the threat from Gaza mostly neutralized and the opportunity to neutralize Hezbollah in the north. It’s unfortunate how we got here but maybe there can be a silver lining in the end.

Anyone who has been calling for a ceasefire in the North is wrong. There is no going back for Israel. They cannot afford now to not finish the job and completely dismantle the arsenal that has been aimed at them. They will never get another chance.

After the brilliant, rapid-fire tactical successes of the pagers, radios, and targeting of leadership, Hezbollah’s massive weapon cache is unguarded and unmanned. Most of Hezbollah fighters are hiding in their tunnels. Anyone still around was not important enough to carry a pager or be invited to a leadership meeting. Iran is reeling, as well, insecure and unsure how deeply its own intelligence has been penetrated. Failing to take full advantage of this opportunity to neutralize the threat is irresponsible.

I have been hearing some amazing stories about how Israel has been collecting intelligence over the past 10 months with some brilliant technology and crowdsourcing initiatives.

But today, with the confirmed killing of Nasrallah and at least 16 top commanders eliminated in just nine days, was the first day I started thinking about a Middle East without Iran’s fully loaded arsenal aimed at Israel. So many more positive outcomes are possible.

This is a moment to stand behind the peace-seeking nation of Israel and the large portion of the Lebanese who have been plagued by Hezbollah and who want to return to the times when their country was thriving, and Beirut a cosmopolitan city. The main issue between Lebanon and Israel is Iran; otherwise there is a lot of benefit for the people of both countries from working together.

The right move now for America would be to tell Israel to finish the job. It’s long overdue. And it’s not only Israel’s fight.

More than 40 years ago, Hezbollah killed 241 US military personnel, including 220 Marines. That remains the single deadliest day for the U.S. Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima. Later that same day, Hezbollah killed 58 French paratroopers.

And now, over the past six weeks or so, Israel has eliminated as many terrorists on the US list of wanted terrorists as the US has done in the last 20 years. Including Ibrahim Aqil, the leader of Hezbollah’s Islamic Jihad Organization who masterminded the 1983 killing of those Marines.

[Naftali Bennett נפתלי בנט @naftalibennett]

Many Shiites in Lebanon have a unique revenue stream:
In their home they have a special “Rocket Launcher Room”.

They’re paid monthly rent by Hezbollah to host this launcher and be prepared to shoot rockets at Israel communities on demand.

I remember as a company commander fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon I was astonished by this.

Who the heck turns their home into a terror base?

The IDF is now systematically destroying these death machines.

Anyone man who turns his home into a death launch pad puts his family in severe danger, and ONLY he is responsible for the consequences.

Enough is enough.

Iran is RIGHT NOW trying to kill US officials on American soil.
Let that sink in.

The only way to stop this Iranian Octopus of terror is to cut its head off. Collapse this terrible regime, just like former USSR.
**
Details:
Earlier today the DOJ announced that the FBI arrested Asif Raza Merchant, 46, with murder-for-hire with the goal of assassinating an American politician or official on U.S. soil.

He was being directed by Iran.

Iran’s regime is the biggest source of global terror.
You can’t forever defend yourself merely by fighting its proxies and trying to thwart all its attacks.
Inevitability you’ll miss some attacks, and you’ll get a re-run of 9-11.

It’s like you can’t fight individual mosquitoes; you must dry up the swamp.

The only way forward is to use massive economic, diplomatic and other action to accelerate the collapse of this terrible regime.

Just like the Soviet empire collapsed in 89’, the Islamic republic of Iran will collapse, freeing its own people from the yoke of oppression, and freeing the world from this empire of terror.

Israeli soldiers helping Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

Everything the leftist media tells us about Israel is a defamatory lie.

לבכות או לשמוח? לא רק אנחנו הגענו אל תאריך משמח באווירה קשה. לפני 2,400 שנה עמדו על הר בירושלים ישראלים רבים, בחנוכת בית המקדש השני. הצעירים שמחו על המקדש, הזקנים בכו בי ראו כמה עלוב הוא לעומת הבית הראשון שזכרו. ״שירי קינה, שירי הלל, זה מתערבב, זה מתערבל״ קראה לזה נעמי שמר, וכך תיאר זאת עזרא:

וְאֵין הָעָם, מַכִּירִים קוֹל תְּרוּעַת הַשִּׂמְחָה, לְקוֹל בְּכִי הָעָם: כִּי הָעָם, מְרִיעִים תְּרוּעָה גְדוֹלָה, וְהַקּוֹל נִשְׁמַע, עַד-לְמֵרָחוֹק.

בזמן הכרזת העצמאות, ממש עכשיו לפני 76 שנה, נפל גוש עציון ומגיניו נטבחו ונחטפו. מניין הנופלים חצה אז את האלפיים בדיוק כשהתגשמה התקווה בת שנות אלפיים. לא היה בית שאין בו מספד ולא היה רחוב שלא התמלא בשמחה.

אלתרמן כבר כתב על השעה ההיא מילים נצחיות:

ופני שמחתה עזות
וחזקים לעומתן פני תוגתה
ולעת חג או מספד הן רובצות
אישה לפתח רעותה

והעת כמו ניר שבו
חרשו
אהבה ושנאה וקרב
ויבער העפר עד בוא
יבוא נושא אלומותיו.

אלתרמן רמז לפסוק ״הזורעים בדמעה ברינה יקצורו, הלוך יילך ובכה נושא אלומותיו״. כי בניגוד לבית השני, כשהוקם הבית השלישי לא חצי בכו וחצי שמחו, אלא כולם בכו ושמחו ביחד.

וכך גם אנחנו עכשיו - עין במר בוכה, ולב שמח.

שבוע אחרי הטבח, לפני גשם ראשון, בקיבוץ בארי זרעו את השדות שדרכם דהר המוות אל הבתים.

התקיים בנו כפשוטו הביטוי התנ״כי ״הזורעים בדמעה״. ואם התקיים החלק הזה, מובטח שיתקיים בנו גם החלק השני ״ברינה יקצורו״.

חג שמח
