President Donald Trump is considering going to war with Iran, according to a report from Axios.
Israeli officials are pressuring Trump to back a major Israeli attack against Iran or to order a US strike against Iran’s supposed nuclear program. This idea is reportedly backed by the many war hawks Trump has appointed to his administration.
As Israel becomes more aggressive against its enemies in the Middle East, Trump continues to make it clear he is 100 percent in Israel’s corner.
“Well, I’m the best friend that Israel ever had. You look at what happened with all of the things that I’ve gotten, including Jerusalem being the capital, the embassy getting built,” Trump said to radio host Hugh Hewitt.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also confirmed that he is in the ear of Trump and believes that Trump is on his side in achieving his goals of complete victory.
“I unequivocally declare to Hezbollah and to Iran: In order to prevent you from attacking us, we will continue to take action against you as necessary, in every arena and at all times,” Netanyahu said.
“I discussed all of this last night with my friend, US President-elect Donald Trump. We had a very friendly, warm and important discussion. We discussed the need to complete Israel’s victory and we spoke at length about the efforts we are making to free our hostages,” the prime minister added.
Meanwhile, President Trump has appointed extreme war hawks into major positions of authority in his administration, particularly Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) as National Security Adviser and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) as Secretary of State.
Rubio has never seen a war he did not like. He has been a proponent of arming Ukraine for a proxy war against Russia for over a decade and proclaims that “the world is a better place because Saddam Hussein does not run Iraq” despite the Iraq War being such a costly, atrocious disaster.
Waltz openly called President Biden to bomb Iran in 2023. He got his big break in politics working for Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld at the height of the George W. Bush administration.
It is incumbent upon President Trump’s America First base to make it clear that he was elected to keep the country out of wars. A war with Iran would be at least as disastrous as the wars with Afghanistan and Iraq.
