WhatsappIran Promised a “Long Night” of missiles upon Israel, But the God of Israel Had Other Plans…
Iran warned us of a “long night.” But for the first time since Friday night, thankfully, their missile bombardment was relatively weak compared to previous nights.
Here in the Judean Hills, where I live, many of us actually finally got a full night of sleep. We did not hear a single siren, or have to scramble to the safe room all night. The few missiles they did manage to launch during the night didn’t even come near us, and the handful that landed elsewhere in Israel caused property damage to buses and buildings, but thank God, no Israeli casualties.
We don’t yet know if the Iranian threat was real or whether it was a bluff.
What we do know is that our Air Force is doing an absolutely phenomenal job, striking Iranian missile launchers before they even get a chance to fire. The IDF is carrying out surgical, accurate, and devastating strikes against Iranian missile launchers and infrastructure throughout Iran, thanks to the total air superiority that we achieved. That’s not just military power, it’s a miracle.
As always, God is watching over his people, even while the threats mount around us.
And while Israel deals with the direct threat on the ground and in the air, another battle is raging in the U.S.—within conservative America—between those who recognize the Iranian threat for what it is, and those who are still trapped in the ghosts of Iraq and the 1st Gulf War of 1990.
While there is still no clear decision if the US will join in the attack to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities, last night, President Donald Trump made it absolutely clear: isolating America from this fight is not an option. Responding to Tucker Carlson—one of the leading voices in the isolationist wing of Trump’s own supporter base—Trump posted on Truth Social:
“Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.”
He’s right. One hundred percent.
The growing number of voices in the U.S. opposing any action against Iran are making a dangerous mistake. They think this is about helping Israel. But it’s not. It’s about protecting the free world from a genocidal Islamic regime that wants to wipe both Israel and America off the map.
Now, I understand where the hesitation comes from. Many Americans feel deeply betrayed by the 1st Bush administration, which dragged the U.S. into Iraq on the false claim that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, which has been proven to be a lie. But Israel had nothing to do with it. In fact, I remember that war well.
I remember running into sealed rooms almost every day, gas mask on my face, as Iraq fired missiles at Israel. And what was the American response? President Bush Sr. threatened Israel not to retaliate. He told us to sit back and take it. We weren’t consulted. We weren’t involved. We just absorbed the Iraqi missile blows in silence as the US ran that war.
Fast forward to today: the threat is no longer just ballistic missiles. Iran is racing toward nuclear weapons, and it’s not a bluff. We know it. America knows it. The whole world knows it.
Trump understands that this isn’t a Middle East problem – this is a global threat. And America cannot afford to be blind or passive.
This isn’t about oil or democracy-building. It’s about preventing an apocalyptic regime from acquiring the ultimate weapon.
That said, I’ve been told directly by Israeli officials: we can handle this on our own. Israel has the capabilities, the intelligence, and the will to destroy Iran’s nuclear program. But it will take us longer. We don’t have the same military tools and scale as the U.S. military, that can destroy the nuclear threat much more quickly. But make no mistake, whether or not the US decides to join, Israel will do what must be done.
Because the Jewish people have learned the hard way that no one else will fight for our survival. Not Europe. Not the UN. And not even our best friends—unless they see clearly that our fight is their fight too.
The miracles we’re witnessing on the battlefield, the failed missile barrages, the surgical airstrikes, the survival of millions under threat, are reminders that God is with us. But miracles require action, strength, clarity, and courage.
To our American friends – Don’t let fear of past mistakes (the 1st Gulf war) blind you to present dangers. This time, the Iranian nuclear threat is real. And so is the responsibility.
To my fellow Israelis – Never again trust in appeasement. Never again give away our Biblical, ancestral homeland to appease enemies who only want to destroy us. And never again be afraid to stand alone—because we never truly are.
The God of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. And no matter how long the night, He protects His people.
Am Yisrael Chai!!!
