On the evening of June 12th, after days of subsequent warnings, Israel carried out a strike in Tehran over perceived nuclear threats from Iran. For years, Israel has touted the threat of a nuclear Iran, often claiming they were within months or a year of a nuclear weapon. This occurred even during the Iraq War. Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that the attack was a “targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very survival.” The attack reportedly was carried out using drones and missiles. In Tehran, the Revolutionary Guard HQ was hit, killing its head. CNN reported that the attacks targeted nuclear scientists and military personnel. Israel has since declared a State of Emergency following the preemptive attack.
Iran has a nuclear program, but its precise ambitions are intentionally ambiguous. The more immediate pretext to the attack is that Iran refused cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency and announced a third enrichment site. Furthermore, President Trump is in the process of negotiating a deal with Iran, which is likely part of a broader strategy to make a deal with Russia. A deal with Iran is the only leverage the administration has against Russia, as Ukraine lacks the cards to negotiate peace. Most Americans are unaware that in January, Iran and Russia signed a Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership that stopped just short of an outright military alliance. Trump’s leverage against Moscow comes from his ability to triangulate Iran for peace in Ukraine.
In the lead-up to the attack, the Trump Administration published travel warnings and disclaimers to repudiate their involvement in any attacks Israel might launch. American personnel were withdrawn from the Middle East. Following the attack, Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued the following statement:
Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region. Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defense. President Trump and the Administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear: Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel.
The statement is a repudiation of the attack committed by Israel. Perhaps, the administration is anticipating a counterattack by Iran, much like they performed in 2024, which would likely involve drones and missiles that could penetrate Israel’s Iron Dome.
Analysis
Within the Trump coalition, Israel is a point of contention as the majority of republicans under 50 no longer have a favorable view of Israel; however, those over 50 are still favorably disposed towards Israel along with a majority of the GOP politicians who were quick to have Israel’s back before and after the attack. Neoconservatism and Zionism still occupy the party apparatus. Nevertheless, Vice President JD Vance has articulated many of the talking points of the Dissident Right, including an American First approach to Israel whereby their interest are not America’s interests. Conversely, Speaker Mike Johnson is traveling to Israel to speak before their Knesset on the 22nd. This tension will persist in the coming years, but the era of Zionism in American politics is dying. Therefore, Israel’s push for war with Iran to dismantle their nuclear capabilities is a last-ditch effort to garner American sympathies while some still exist. However, the Trump Administration is not playing ball. A war with Iran would be the worst decision Trump could make, which could fracture his base and distract from immigration and trade.
Geopolitically, the administration has been attempting to pivot away from the Middle East to focus on China. While an outright conflict with Iran is unlikely, this attack further serves as a distraction and will provoke the saber-rattling of Neoconservatives and Zionists. Neither America nor Israel can win a conventional war with Iran. Either America would have to launch an amphibious invasion from an Arab partner (like Qatar) or re-invade Iraq to stage the invasion. Iran does not have ports conducive to an amphibious invasion. Likewise, Iran cannot do anything more than bomb Israel and use proxy forces, so escalation beyond this is improbable.
Nevertheless, countless evangelicals will make bombastic claims of the necessity of dealing with Iran, which is not a threat to America in any capacity outside of disrupting trade, which is only occurring because of Israel. This theology is dangerous and gets Americans killed, and without it, there is nothing buttressing support for Israel in the US. The death of dispensationalism spells the end for Zionism, yet the damage could ensue in the meantime.

I am pleasantly surprised at Rubio’s rather terse statement, which does not mention any American obligation to support earthly imposter “israel.”
“Zionism in American politics is dying”
Thank God for this.
Most Americans have never supported the antichrist zionist terror state.
The only reasons that the US government supports earthly imposter “israel” are: 1) almost all members of Congress are bribed/blackmailed by the zionist lobby, and 2) jewish control over the American media.
Of course, there are a few million braindead retard “christian” zionist judaizers who go around bleating the lie “jews are the chosen people”, but these jew-worshipping mindless lemmings have always been a tiny minority, as indeed they are today.
The jew-worshipping so-called “christian” zionists tend to be pharisaical malignant narcissists who derive a sense of superiority from their worship of the evil jews. They derive a sense of superiority and entitlement from their worship of the wicked jews, and they gleefully enjoy going around pompously threatening “you will go to hell” to real Christians who don’t worship the evil jews.
The “christian” zionists are willing and eager to let the jews destroy Western Civilization and Christianity.
The loyalty of the “christian” zionists is to the jews, NOT to Christ.
This is clearly evident from their behavior: they couldn’t care less whether people believe in Jesus. The only thing the “christian” zionists care about is whether people worship the jews like they do.
An example of this is the recent article Evangelical DarkWeb posted about the sleazy traitorous creep Will Spencer.
Will Spencer wants pastors to screen potential new members of their churches for “anti-semitic” views.
Does Will Spencer advise pastors to ask new members whether they believe in Jesus? Nope. All Spencer cares about is making sure that only pro-jewish individuals are allowed into membership of churches.
Spencer has the typical “christian” zionist mentality: their only loyalty is to the evil jews who they worship.
The “christian” zionists should stop calling themselves Christian, because they worship the jewish enemies of Jesus Christ.
They are traitors to Christ, traitors to their race, and traitors to their country.
I do not understand why supporting or opposing Israel is any different from doing the same for any other country. Why is Israel attacking Iran any different from Russia attacking Ukraine? If it is OK for Iran and North Korea to send Russia weapons to use against Ukraine, who has never done anything to Iran or NK, why is it wrong for the United States to send Israel weapons to use against Iran? Yes the state Israel of Israel opposes Christianity. So does Russia, where every church but their apostate state version is illegal, and quite obviously so does the Islamic Republic of Iran.
For the record American support of Israel crosses ideological, denominational and party lines. So claiming that Roman Catholics, Episcopalians, Quakers and Democrats like John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan and Joe Biden support Israel because of dispensationalism is false. Instead America backed Israel because most Arab states supported the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It was the same reason why we supported Muslim socialist Saddam Hussein and Iraq against Soviet ally Iran, Muslim Pakistan against Soviet ally India and (at the time) mostly Buddhist and pagan South Korea against the Soviet Union and China.
From the ideas posted on this blog I can tell that you are under 30 years old. You don’t remember the Cold War or know how secular American politics was until the rise of the religious right in the 1980s. You also don’t know that opposition to Israel used to be far more associated with conservatism and support for Israel was once a liberal requirement, except for the very far left. You are also unaware that the Palestine Liberation Organization was a Soviet front group that collapsed as soon as the USSR did, and that other Soviet backed groups attacked Israel also, including a Marxist outfit from JAPAN that carried out a major terrorist attack in Israel.
While I have no strong feelings about Israel one way or another, I am very glad that Soviet backed groups like the PLO and the PFLP did not defeat Israel during the Cold War. If they had, the Soviet Union would have likely won. Also, I do not wish for Israel to become an Iranian puppet regime the way that Iraq and Lebanon are now. And if Iran doesn’t get Israel, Turkey will. As bad as Israel is, it is preferable to either alternative.
“I do not understand why supporting or opposing Israel is any different from doing the same for any other country.”
Other countries aren’t the global headquarters of the global anti-White, anti-Christian movement. Earthly imposter “israel” is.
Just as the pirates in the 1600s had Tortuga as their headquarters and base of operations, world jewry uses earthly imposter “israel” as their source of strength and base of operations for their millennia-long campaign of genocide against White people and Christians.
Just as the Soviet Union was the worldwide headquarters, base of operations, and source of strength for worldwide communists/bolsheviks during the Cold War, in exactly the same way, earthly imposter “israel” is the worldwide headquarters, base of operations, and source of strength for the evil jews in their demonic campaign to achieve eternal global supremacy and eradicate White people, Christians, and eventually everyone who isn’t jewish.
Thus, anyone who supports jews or their global base of operations (“israel”) is supporting the subjugation, abuse, and eventual destruction of White people, Christians, and ultimately all Gentiles in general, since the jews hate everyone who isn’t jewish.
The so-called “Christian” zionists are traitors who are willing, eager and gleeful to support the evil jews in destroying Christianity and the White race.
The “Christian” zionists expect that because they have betrayed their own people to support the evil jews, they will be rewarded by the (fake) “Christian” zionist twisted, demented, evil, malevolent, jewish supremacist version of “god”, who will give the “Christian” zionists lots of “blessings” to reward them for assisting the jews in destroying Christians and White people.
The repulsive “Christian” zionists, who betray their own people in the expectation of receiving rewards from their fake, twisted, jewish supremacist version of “god” are the equivalent of parents who allow Jeffrey Epstein to rape their kids, in exchange for some money and a flight on Epstein’s private jet.
Of course, the “Christian” zionist version of “god” is NOT the True God of Christianity, but rather a false and evil and wicked deity.
“Christian” zionists are traitors who worship the jews, NOT Christ.
You might be asking how this ties in to the question you asked.
Well, the traitorous “Christian” zionists within America and the West are the modern equivalent of the communist/bolshevik sympathizers and fellow travelers who subverted the West from within during the Cold War.
Just as the American Left, the Students For A Democratic Society, and various other traitorous groups subverted America and the West from within during the Cold War, the “Christian” zionists are subverting America and the West from within today.
As mentioned above, just as the Soviet Union was the global headquarters for world communism, so earthly imposter “israel” is the global headquarters of world jewry and their demonic campaign to destroy White people and Christians, and subjugate humanity to jewish supremacy.
Thus, anyone who supports jews or earthly imposter “israel” is complicit in the destruction of White people and the destruction of Christians, and eventually the destruction of the third worlders once the jews no longer need them as weaponized demographic foot soldiers to use against White people.
“Why is Israel attacking Iran any different from Russia attacking Ukraine? If it is OK for Iran and North Korea to send Russia weapons to use against Ukraine, who has never done anything to Iran or NK, why is it wrong for the United States to send Israel weapons to use against Iran?”
Because Iran, North Korea and Russia don’t send their people into White countries pretending to be friends, and then having infiltrated our countries start corrupting our children with porn and degeneracy and race-mixing propaganda, and brainwashing our children to hate their own ancestors and their own heritage.
Are Iranians or Russians or North Koreans teaching your kids critical race theory in preschool and trying to brainwash your kids into turning transgender?
No, the brainwashers and corrupters of children and the subverters of Western society have names like Shapiro and Goldstein and Friedman and Silverman and Ginsburg.
Why would the USA or any Western country support the global headquarters of an evil tribe who are actively working 24/7 to destroy us?
“Yes the state Israel of Israel opposes Christianity. So does Russia, where every church but their apostate state version is illegal, and quite obviously so does the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
Regarding Russia, you consider Russian Orthodox Christianity to be “apostate.” The Russians consider their version of Christianity to be the true version. So Russia can’t really be accused of opposing Christianity.
Russia CAN be accused of suppressing westernized “Christianity” (more like cuckstianity), but who can blame them?
If I was the president of Russia, I would consider it my duty to protect my people from the degenerate cultural marxist filth that passes for mainstream western “Christianity.”
Should the Russians tolerate James White or Will Spencer showing up in their country to brainwash the Russian people into believing that “god” will send them to hell if they don’t teach their daughters to marry black men?
Considering how corrupted and degenerate and subversive western mainstream “Christianity” has become, countries such as Russia and North Korea and Iran and China can hardly be blamed for protecting their people from the cucked western evangelists who go around screeching evil LIES such as “god hates racism and nationalism, if you don’t allow all the africans into your country, god will send you to hell for being racist!”
Any decent and honorable government would ban subversives who go around preaching such evil cultural marxist theology.
So you can’t really blame Russia, Iran, North Korea, China, etc for banning western cuckstianity, can you?
“For the record American support of Israel crosses ideological, denominational and party lines.”
That is because American leaders and influencers of both parties and most major denominations have been either bribed or blackmailed by the jews, or are loudly “virtue signaling” in the hope of attracting the attention of the jews and receiving rewards from the jews.
“America backed Israel because most Arab states supported the Soviet Union during the Cold War.”
This is false. Or to be more precise, you are presenting it in a misleading and false way.
The Arab countries supported the Soviet Union AFTER the United States supported “israel.”
The Arab countries supported the Soviet Union BECAUSE the United States supported “israel.”
The Arab countries only sided with the Soviets AFTER the United States sided with “israel.”
Before 1948, almost all jews throughout the world were Soviet sympathizers. When earthly counterfeit “israel” was created (by expelling the Arabs who had lived there for centuries) in 1948, the world’s jews switched their allegiance from the Soviet Union to “israel.”
The USA (led by the jewish sock puppet Truman) recognized “israel”, which alienated the Arab countries from the West and drove them into the arms of the Soviets.
Before “israel” was created, all of the Arab countries were ruled by Western puppet leaders. Iraq had a pro-Western king, and so did Egypt, Libya, and Morocco and the Gulf States (which still have western puppet monarchs today).
It was only AFTER the United States recognized “israel” that angry Arab populations began overthrowing the western puppet leaders (Egypt in 1952, Iraq in 1958, Libya in 1969, etc) and allying with the Soviets.
“The Russians consider their version of Christianity to be the true version. So Russia can’t really be accused of opposing Christianity.”
If you went to Russia today and tried to start a New Testament style Bible based church they would throw you in prison and probably kill you. They are every bit the persecutor of Christ’s church as the Soviet Union was.
