Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sought to put these criticisms to rest, informing doubters that Iran’s nuclear program was on the brink of becoming untouchable.

From The Times of Israel:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said early Tuesday that an attack against Iran was urgently necessary because Iran was building new underground sites to shield its missile and nuclear programs from attacks. …

In an interview with Fox News, Netanyahu said, “The reason that we had to act now is because after we hit their nuclear sites and their ballistic missile program [in June 2025]… they started building new sites… underground bunkers that would make their ballistic missile program and their atomic bomb program immune within months.”

“If no action was taken now, no action could be taken in the future,” he said.

In other words, our leaders had no choice but to act now. U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff echoed this sentiment, claiming that Iran’s top negotiators boasted earlier this year that they had enough enriched uranium to build 11 nuclear bombs.

Netanyahu also laughed off the idea that Israel dragged the U.S. into war, a claim many have been making in light of a quote from Secretary of State Marco Rubio made earlier this week. The Prime Minister called President Trump “the strongest leader in the world,” stressing that he only “does what he thinks is right for America” and “what he thinks is right for future generations.”

Furthermore, Netanyahu addressed fears that the U.S. is entering into another Middle East forever war. He claimed the war won’t last forever because “this terror regime in Iran is at its weakest point” since it’s founding, stressing that the conflict will be a “quick and decisive action.” Vice President JD Vance echoed this sentiment in his own Fox interview, insisting that Operation Epic Fury won’t drag on for years because the U.S. has a clear goal. According to the Vice President, the goal of this conflict is to change Iran’s “mindset” so that it will agree to never pursue a nuclear weapon.

As this conflict continues, it seems that more and more people are using it as an excuse to turn on both Israel and the President. Let’s ask God to cut through the deception and unite people behind our leaders and behind God’s chosen nation in the Middle East!
