On June 13, 2025, history shifted.
In a moment that will echo for generations, the small and resilient Jewish nation launched a bold and precise preemptive self-defense strike against Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure. The mission’s name — Rising Lion — was not chosen lightly. It reflects a people who have endured unbearable loss and trauma since the October 7 massacre, and yet refuse to remain victims.
Israelis, both soldiers and civilians, have risen from the ashes — not with vengeance, but with clarity of purpose and a refusal to allow the next massacre to happen.
Make no mistake: this was not just about Israel. Iran’s regime and its terrorist proxies have waged war on the free world for 46 years. From Argentina to Bulgaria, from Gaza to Kyiv, they have funded, trained, and unleashed death in the name of an evil ideology. Israel is on the front line, but the threat is global.
What happened on June 13 was the moment David aimed his sling at Goliath — not only to defend himself, but to protect others. To stop the march of genocidal ambition before it turns nuclear. The targets were military. The mission was clear: dismantle Iran’s capacity to threaten millions. This was not a war of conquest. It was a strike of necessity.
And now the world is watching — and choosing. Governments, media outlets, influencers, and ordinary citizens face a test of moral courage.
When your grandchildren ask what you did in these historic days, what will you say?
Will you tell them you condemned Israel for acting where others feared to tread? That you stayed silent because it was easier, more comfortable, more politically convenient? Or will you say that you recognized the truth — that one nation stood up against a regional empire of terror, and you had the integrity to stand with it?
There are only three roles history will remember: those who resisted evil, those who supported it, and those who enabled it by doing nothing. That choice belongs to you.
To the people of Iran: your courage in the face of brutality is nothing short of extraordinary. You have the hardest role of all — to rise up like Persian tigers and reclaim your nation from the Islamist tyranny that has hijacked your proud heritage. Know that Israelis do not see you as enemies. Your liberation is part of our shared dream of peace.
To the nations of the region: follow the path of the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco. Join the Abraham Accords not just for diplomacy’s sake, but to forge a new alliance — one that stands against radicalism and for a future of peace and prosperity.
This is a moment of truth. You can choose to rise like lions — or scurry in cowardice. History will remember. Choose wisely.
