Thoughts On Iran’s Attack

Once again, the Islamic Republic of Iran demonstrated who and what they are when Tehran launched hundreds of missiles and drones against Israel this weekend. They are terrorists dedicated to the destruction of Israel, the United States, and Western Civilization.

When you have a strong president like we did four years ago, the mullahs of Iran are contained. When you have a weak president who thinks foreign policy is going to a microphone and saying, “Don’t,” the mullahs don’t care. One-word warnings are not a believable foreign policy.

Joe Biden has given Iran billions of dollars, and he thinks “Don’t” is going to send a tough message? That’s ludicrous, insulting, and dangerous.

While Biden is praising Israel’s incredible success in neutralizing virtually all of the Iranian missiles and drones, he is also suggesting that there is no reason for Israel to retaliate. And he made it clear that if Israel did respond, they would be on their own.

Again, we see the left-wing mindset at work. What we know, and what the left chooses not to know, is that weakness establishes dangerous precedents and invites aggression.

Israel is being told not to finish the job against Hamas. Israel is being told to tolerate an invasion like October 7th and not destroy its barbaric enemy. Now Israel is being told to tolerate attacks launched from the territory of another country and not retaliate.

That is a prescription for the end of Israel or any other nation!

No one is going to invest in a country where such attacks are part of daily life. Few people will want to live in a country where such attacks are part of daily life.

The policy Biden is pushing on Israel will erase the Jewish state as surely as Iran dropping a nuclear bomb on Tel Aviv.

By the way, if the weekend’s events seemed like too much of a coincidence, there are disturbing reports that the Biden White House not only had advanced warning of Iran’s attack, but may have even approved it. Congress must demand answers!

One final point. Many in the media are claiming that Iran’s attack on Israel increases the pressure on Speaker Mike Johnson to push a massive foreign aid package through the House of Representatives in the coming days.

Speaker Johnson isn’t the problem. The House, under Johnson’s leadership, passed legislation providing additional aid to Israel months ago. It was blocked by Chuck Schumer and Senate progressives, who are demanding that support for Israel be tied to more money for Ukraine!
