(New York Post) David Harris - Iran has been an implacable enemy of the U.S. since 1979, when the mullahs seized power in Tehran. Despite Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's astonishing claim that no Americans have been attacked by Iran, the exact opposite is true. Iran and its proxies, including Hamas, Hizbullah and the Houthis, have kidnapped scores of Americans; killed hundreds of U.S. soldiers; attacked American installations in the Middle East; plagued our shipping in the Straits of Hormuz; plotted to assassinate an American president and other top officials; and pursued Iranian dissidents on American soil. All this while the regime cries "Death to America," and seeks weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them with precision. Moreover, Iran has provided drones to Russia to be used to kill and maim Ukrainians in Moscow's war of aggression, not to mention seeking the annihilation of Israel, one of America's closest allies. Iran's expansionist agenda has sought to destabilize U.S. friends from Morocco to Kurdistan, from Egypt to Saudi Arabia. It cooperates with North Korea on advanced missile development. And it has been the principal sponsor of international terror, triggering deadly attacks across the globe, including in the Western Hemisphere. Those opposed to U.S. military action argue it will put Americans in harm's way. But the truth is that Americans have been in harm's way since the Shah of Iran was ousted in 1979. Israel, which has bravely taken on the fight against Iran, though far smaller and acting alone, has never asked for American boots on the ground. Rather, it sees an historic opportunity to end a 46-year threat to regional and global peace, while making the world safer by severely weakening a messianic, aggressive regime. The writer, former CEO of the American Jewish Committee, is executive vice chair of the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP). 2025-06-23 00:00:00Full Article
Why the U.S. Needs Israel to Win in Iran Just as Much as Israel Needs It
