Israel President Bibi Netanyahu has been pressing his American counterparts to attack Iran for more than a decade, always warning that the mullahs are an inch from building a bomb. Finally, he found a president who agreed.
This wasn’t one of President Donald Trump’s crazy moves, like threatening to invade Canada. A nuclear Iran could spark a global Armageddon, and allow the mullahs to be even more aggressive across the Mideast, knowing the homeland would be immune from attack. Leon Panetta, who was CIA director under President Barack Obama, supports Trump on this, saying he “had no choice.” And after Israel destroyed Iran’s air defenses, and crushed its proxy armies, the timing was good.
