Klein (June 18, 2025 / USA Today) On June 12, after 60 days of fruitless negotiations between President Donald Trump and the Islamic Republic of Iran, Israel struck decisively. The Jewish state launched precision attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, senior military figures, lead nuclear scientists and missile stockpiles. These actions were not sudden or isolated — they were a direct response to decades of failed U.S. and European policies that have allowed Iran’s terror-driven regime to thrive. With U.S. military support, particularly B-52 bombers and Massive Ordnance Penetrators, or MOPs, Trump now has a historic opportunity to do what others have failed to: end Iran’s nuclear threat and bring true security to the Middle East. For more than 40 years, the Iranian regime has waged ideological war against both Israel and the United States, labeling them the “Little Satan” and “Great Satan.” Since the 1979 hostage crisis, Iran has built a web of terror proxies across the region, targeting Israeli civilians and U.S. interests. Chants like “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” are common in Tehran. And while U.S. administrations have alternated between appeasement and indecision, Iran has steadily expanded its power and influence. Trump, however, broke from the past. In his first term, he withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA — a deeply flawed agreement that Iran repeatedly violated. Instead of trusting Tehran’s promises, he imposed harsh sanctions and exposed Iran’s deception. Trump recognized what previous leaders ignored: a peaceful nuclear program doesn’t involve building ballistic missiles or hiding uranium enrichment deep underground. When Trump returned to office, he again gave diplomacy a chance. He offered Iran 60 days to engage in serious negotiations. But instead of genuine diplomacy, Tehran stalled for time, accelerating uranium enrichment and expanding its ballistic missile arsenal. The regime’s goal was clear: to reach nuclear breakout while deceiving the international community. Why did Israel attack? Israel acted only after the 60-day deadline passed. On the morning of June 12, the International Atomic Energy Agency overwhelmingly declared Iran in breach of its nuclear obligations. In defiance, Iran announced plans for yet another uranium enrichment facility. Israel responded with surgical strikes to neutralize what had become an imminent existential threat.
