**Op-Ed: Israel Seized the Moment — and the White House Was Quick to Wash Its Hands**
Iran’s emboldened leadership made a fatal mistake and handed Israel a rare window of opportunity. Israel seized that opportunity — alone, unescorted, and unapologetic. The Israeli Air Force has once again proven its dominance over Iranian skies, striking targets deep inside Iran without waiting for American permission. The operation mocks all those experts — like Prof. Robert Pape, Trita Parsi, and the other X-perts who spent the past two months on Mario Nawfal’s interviews praising Iran’s masterful “control of the Escalation Ladder” and “Escalation Dominance.”
Clearly, the IRGC walked straight into the dilemma trap I outlined more than a week ago. Iran’s entire strategy rests on never appearing weak — so it had no choice but to attack. Israel was ready, armed with abundant interceptors, and effortlessly knocked every meager Iranian salvo out of the sky.
Next, the Air Force and Military Intelligence executed the mission with precision and daring. The overnight strikes were necessary — though they are only the beginning. This is not a one-off operation to be judged in isolation; it is the start of a sustained sequence. And that sequence must continue.
As predicted, the White House was quick to announce that this is strictly an Israeli matter: Israel was attacked, Israel is responding, and the United States is not involved. That swift distancing was exactly what the “calming” X-perts on our screens had forecast — that Jerusalem would once again obey orders from the Oval Office. Their soothing certainty actually helped preserve the element of surprise.
Yesterday’s measured strike in Beirut (in response to Hezbollah firing rockets at Israeli civilians in Kiryat Shmona and Yiftach) was calibrated perfectly: firm enough to signal resolve, restrained enough not to bruise the ego of the manic-depressive in the White House. It left Tehran with two bad choices — absorb the blow and admit that Israeli deterrence works, or retaliate and invite yet another humiliating Israeli demonstration deep inside Iran, on the ground and in the air.
We have known for years what does not work against this Islamic regime: polite diplomacy or tough-sounding negotiations that evaporate overnight. A single knockout air campaign will not defeat it either. What does work — what we must do relentlessly — is exploit our decisive superiority in intelligence, technology, and air power. We must strike again and again at its military capabilities, infrastructure, and economy. Iran’s fierce insistence on linking Hezbollah to any deal only exposes its fragility both at home and abroad. That is why hitting Hezbollah hard is an integral part of this phase. The campaign will not be limited to Iran. Hezbollah must be dismantled if we want — and we do want — peace with our Lebanese neighbors.
Those who crave quiet and appeasement today will wake up tomorrow facing an Iranian nuclear bomb. There is no third option.
The window is open. The sequence has begun. The only question left is whether Israel will keep striking while the iron is hot — before the usual voices demand we close it again.
Iran started a new attack on Israel tonight.
Could this actually be the beginning of the end for the Iranian regime? God I hope so.
Enough is enough. This regime has caused nothing but death and instability for decades. Let it end.
America should allow Israel to defend itself. Do it, Israel. Do not let anyone deny your right to protect your children, your women, and your people from the terrorism and aggression of the Islamic regime in Iran. Do not negotiate away your security. Stand firm against those who threaten innocent lives. As Scripture says: "Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."
@MarioNawfal With respect, I’ve noticed that your platform consistently brings on guests who criticise America or focus on faults in American leadership. Constructive criticism is important, but for a platform to feel balanced and fair, there should also be perspectives from the other side.
علاقة الإمارات مع الهند علاقة تاريخية ومتعددة الأبعاد، تطورت على مدى أكثر من عقد إلى شراكة استراتيجية راسخة، تقوم على الثقة والمصالح المشتركة والرؤية المستقبلية. علاقة تتعزز يومًا بعد يوم، وتعود بالخير والنماء على البلدين والشعبين الصديقين.
#WATCH | Abu Dhabi, UAE | On PM Modi's visit to the country, LuLu Group Chairman & MD, MA Yusuff Ali says, "The relation between the UAE and India, under the dynamic leadership of our Prime Minister and President of the UAE, is very strong... We had an unfortunate crisis in the last two months. The UAE President instructed me that everybody should get food products on time, and there should not be any shortage. I am thankful to Prime Minister Modi. I myself went and met the Prime Minister and sought his assistance and help for food security... I'm very thankful to the Prime Minister... This is a proud moment for all Indians staying in the GCC..."
मैंने प्रधानमंत्री नरेन्द्र मोदी का अबू धाबी में स्वागत किया, जहाँ हमारी वार्ता हमारे देशों और लोगों के बीच गहरे संबंधों को और सुदृढ़ बनाने पर केंद्रित रही। संयुक्त अरब अमीरात और भारत के बीच एक दीर्घकालिक रणनीतिक एवं आर्थिक साझेदारी है, और आज की हमारी चर्चाओं में ऊर्जा, प्रौद्योगिकी तथा अन्य प्राथमिकता वाले क्षेत्रों में सहयोग को नई गति देने के उपायों पर विचार-विमर्श हुआ। साथ मिलकर, हम अपने देशों की सतत प्रगति सुनिश्चित करने तथा क्षेत्र और विश्व में शांति एवं स्थिरता को बढ़ावा देने के लिए प्रतिबद्ध हैं।
The relationship between Indians and Emiratis was never just economic
It became human
Families friendships businesses and generations growing together across the Gulf
Mess with civilian ships, threaten global trade, and expect silence? Wrong audience.
The UAE stands firmly with India against this cowardly terrorist attack. 🇦🇪🇮🇳 India has never been a nation that bows to intimidation, and anyone betting on fear to shake one of the world’s strongest and most resilient countries keeps making very expensive miscalculations. Critical waterways will not be held hostage by cowards, yes, cowards.
Benjamin Netanyahu is SPOT ON!!
He says bot farms from Pakistan are pretending to be Americans who turned against Israel so they can change he narrattive
He is 100% correct.
هناك زعماء ميدانيون، والشيخ محمد بن زايد حفظه الله أحد أبرز هؤلاء القادة. يسعد بلقاء الناس والاستماع إليهم، ويحضر مجلسه الأسبوعي المئات، كما تتواصل زياراته للمواطنين بصورة دائمة ومتنوعة. وجولته مع فخامة الرئيس عبد الفتاح السيسي في أحد المراكز التجارية جاءت ضمن نهجه المعتاد ولقاءاته التي يفضّلها بعفويتها وبساطتها بعيدًا عن الرسميات، فهي القاعدة وليست الاستثناء.
هذه هي رسائل الزعامة الحقيقية: القرب من الناس، والبساطة والتواضع، وتعزيز الثقة في هذه الظروف الاستثنائية.
UAE ships sail through the Strait of Hormuz with pride, confidence, and full sovereignty. No one dares to stop them.
Strength and sovereignty are a red line for the UAE 🇦🇪
