Over the weekend you saw the headlines as Israel struck Iran in a surprise attack after negotiations over Iran’s supposed nuclear program broke down. For Israel, Iran poses an existential threat if they develop nuclear capabilities, while Iran views Israel as an illegitimate state and stands in solidarity with the Mohammedans occupying Palestine. This conflict has been raging since 1979, and Friday’s escalation is merely the next chapter in an ancient blood feud.

But more than Israel fears Iran’s nuclear capabilities, Israel fears losing the support of the West. Support for Israel has been decline since October 7th, 2023. Younger evangelicals are more indifferent and nationalists sentiments against foreign aid have already stranded Ukraine just 5 months into Trump’s presidency. With the exception of their intelligence operations, Israel’s military is relatively small and underpowered. In short, they desperately need the US and the EU to see their war against Iran as justified and for them to join the fray.

And so, President Donald Trump is facing the most important test of his presidency. The Middle East is the graveyard of kingdoms. 20 years and $3 trillion dollars failed achieve a stable government in Iraq. If we are dragged into another war the benefits will be practically negligible for us, and the downsides almost infinite. Will Trump rip the bandaid off and make the US be done playing international peacemaker?
