There are moments when a president must choose between what is politically safe and what he believes is right for the security of his nation. Donald Trump has faced that moment with Iran, and I believe Americans should recognize the courage it required. For nearly half a century, Iran has threatened the US and Israel, sponsored terrorism,

The US and Israel have demonstrated what military power can do to Iran. Bombs can destroy missile factories, military installations, drone warehouses, and command centers.

The illusion of diplomacy There are people in Washington who still believe the Iranian regime can be persuaded to change through diplomacy. They believe another agreement, another memorandum, or another round of negotiations will somehow convince the ayatollahs to abandon their nuclear ambitions and stop financing terrorism.

On the Fourth of July this year, I will reflect on three things: America’s 250th birthday, the sacrifice of Yonatan Netanyahu, who led the Entebbe raid, and his brother, Benjamin Netanyahu.
