There is one person in the world who for decades has been saying time and again that the greatest threat to the Western world in general and Israel in particular is the nuclear threat from Iran. That man in Benajmin Netanyahu. He has never taken his eye off of the ball. He has clearly learned the lessons from our recent past. When Jew haters threaten to kill the Jews en-masse, believe them. Don’t make believe that they are exaggerating. They mean what they say.
Iran may very well be on the verge of completing their nuclear weapon program. But Iran is also in a precarious situation due to three things that have occurred in the last year and a half. Iran’s main proxy in the Middle East has been the Hizbullah. The entire Hizbullah leadership has either been killed or is in hiding with far less weaponry than they had before October 7th. The beeper attack completely decapitated the Hizbullah and changed the entire Middle East. Syria’s dictatorship fell apart and Lebanon has some hope for a better future for the first time in a long time.
Additionally, Iran knows that the destruction of Hamas will be completed in a matter of weeks or perhaps months. So, all they have left are Houtis in Yemen as their main proxies. But the most debilitating attack of the last year was when Israel destroyed the air defenses of Iran in that powerful counterattack. Iran knows that the lifetime of their nuclear program does not have much left. But Netanyahu decided to wait till after the US November election to move. He preferred to attack in a coordinated fashion with the USA with a friendly President. The attack will probably happen in the end of March or April.
Donald Trump wants to send clear signals to Vladimir Putin about Ukraine and to China about not invading Taiwan. He will do that with attacks on Yemen and Iran that are coordinated with Israel. It is money time. The Middle East will not be the same for at least 5-10 years, perhaps more.
