The Middle East has long been one of the most volatile places on planet Earth.
I mention it, of course, because of Iran’s recent attack on Israel.
Now the good news is this: This massive attack upon Israel was largely ineffectual.
But the fact remains: This was a direct attack upon Israel by the Islamic Republic of Iran. It was not undertaken by Iran through a proxy state or a proxy force, through shadow armies and shadow armed forces, shadow terrorist organizations—no this was Iran as Iran attacking Israel.
And: It was a massive attack. By American estimations, there were about 170 drones, 120 ballistic missiles, and about 30 cruise missiles that were sent with high explosives.
History is right now developing before our eyes.
We are moving thus into a different historical epoch—when Iran has directly attacked Israel.
Yes: Israel must respond. And our nation should fully support them as they do.
