Why America Stands with Israel Against Iran
(Jerusalem Post) Gila Gamliel - Many Americans are asking, "Why are we involved in this fight against Iran?" The honest answer is because the threat never stopped at Israel, and it never would have. Before the war, Iranian officials spoke openly and proudly about possessing uranium enriched to 60% that was enough for 11 nuclear bombs, which would endanger the U.S. itself. Today, when Iran fires toward Cyprus, Turkey, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, it is attacking U.S. partners. For the Iranian government, a deal is not a deal, a word is not a word. There is only one path: domination and the imposition of radical Islam on the Free World at any cost. This is a war of prevention. A necessary stand against a future that would have reached American cities if ignored. It is a fight to stop global terror networks, dismantle the planners of mass murder, and prevent a regime that openly calls for America's destruction from acquiring nuclear weapons. The writer is Israel's Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology.
