As I record this message, Iran and its terrorist proxies remain poised to retaliate against Israel for her embarrassing assassinations of top jihadists in Beirut and Tehran. For weeks, our ally’s population has been traumatized by the prospect of potentially devastating retaliation.

 

The Harris-Biden administration is urging restraint all around. It has built up American forces in the region. The use to which they would put, however, is unclear.

 

Presumably, if Israel continues to wait to be struck, our military would do as they did before when Iran fired 300 missiles at the Jewish State last April, namely, help shoot them down.

 

In the past, though, when faced with the prospect of deadly attacks, Israel has wisely protected its people and their nation by preemption. If she does so this time, would the U.S. government defend our enemies in Iran and Hezbollah?
