Donald Trump knows that the longer the war between Israel and Iran goes on, the more likely it is to drag in a superpower.
If that happens, there is a very real danger we see the start of World War III, which is why Trump is asking for peace, but his pleas are being rejected.
Donald Trump has been trying to get a deal done with Iran, but the terrorist nation never seemed to be taking the talks seriously.
Trump has put Iran on a clock, and that clock expired on Friday, at which point Israel did what it had to do in order to defend its nation, which was to strike at Iran to take out its nuclear facilities.
After launching a massive attack, the IDF announced, "The strike dismantled a facility for producing metallic uranium, infrastructure for reconverting enriched uranium, laboratories, and additional infrastructure.”
That strike and subsequent strikes also took out key military leaders, crushing Iran in the process.
Once Israel launched its strike, it was expected that Iran would counterattack, and now we have ourselves another war that our ally, Israel, is neck deep in.
As this battle heated up, Israel remained adamant that it must stop Iran or it would have as many as 8,000 ballistic missiles capable of taking out its nation in just a few years.
An Israeli official explained, "We cannot end this operation knowing that we will be in the same spot two years from now," the official said. "Everything is going as planned. Actually, better than planned."
The official added: "We have lots of surprises. Not just the ones we already did. We have more surprises coming up."
As Trump continues to hope for a diplomatic solution, Israel rejected the idea, calling it “outrageous” to even consider negotiating with Iran.
Trump had posted to Truth Social, "Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal... by using TRADE with the United States to bring reason, cohesion, and sanity into the talks with two excellent leaders who were able to quickly make a decision and STOP!"
The Israeli official responded, "We are now engaging in a war with Iran, a war which I believe is historic, because we are now, finally, hopefully, we will liberate, not just ourselves, not just the Iranian people, but the entire world from the threat of the evil Iranian regime.”
While I have stated that I would back the United States getting involved directly, I have been adamant it should only be as a last resort, as I am well aware of the implications of US missiles being fired or US boots being put on the ground. I would much rather prefer that Israel bring Iran to its knees on its own or that Trump can secure a deal where a nuclear weapon is taken off the table for Iran.
