A few hundred yards’ difference could have meant the destruction of one or more of the holiest sites of the three major religions — the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, site of the crucifixion of Jesus; the Temple Mount, site of the Holy Temple of the Jews; and the al-Aqsa Mosque, one of Islam’s holiest sites.

PARKER: America is doing what must be done in Iran  Back to video

The Iranian maniacs are prepared to destroy even one of their own holiest sites in pursuit of their insane objectives.

There is no difference between Iran’s leadership and any psychotic wandering the streets who is convinced he is God.

In their demented minds, the evil deeds they carry out — most recently murdering over 30,000 of their own citizens — are what God would be doing if He had all the facts.

Mental derangement is, unfortunately, part of the human condition. But to give it legitimacy, particularly when it means empowering the deranged with trillions in wealth to finance terror and to permit them nuclear weapons, becomes not just insane but pure evil.

Iranian support of terrorism globally is wide, deep

Iran is the world’s third-largest holder of oil reserves, yet its citizens are poor. Why? Because the oil wealth of the country is not used to benefit the Iranian people, but to finance their leaders’ agenda of worldwide terrorism. Nevertheless, in the U.S., leading Democrats are challenging the legitimacy and legality of President Donald Trump sending American power to stop the insane Iranian regime.

Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine writes in The Wall Street Journal, “I can plainly state that there was no imminent threat from Iran to America sufficient to warrant committing our sons and daughters to another war in the Middle East…”

The documentation of Iranian support of terrorism globally is wide and deep.

The Iranian leadership boasts of its ongoing battle to eliminate “The Great Satan” (U.S.) and “The Little Satan” (Israel).

For years, it poured billions into supporting Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists and forging a terrorist front in former president Bashar al-Assad’s Syria.

In 1983, Iran-funded Hezbollah bombed the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 241 U.S. troops. In 1984, it car-bombed the U.S. embassy in Beirut, killing 23.

In 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice filed charges against an Iranian operative plotting to assassinate Trump.

The Wall Street Journal‘s Mary O’Grady wrote last year, “Tehran has spies and proxies across Latin America and probably in the U.S. as well.”

Iran-backed Hezbollah was responsible for a suicide bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires in 1983 that took 29 lives and the bombing of the Jewish Community Centre in Buenos Aires in 1984 that claimed 85 lives.

O’Grady documents Iranian ties to Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela and conveys that “the Center for Secure Free Society” reports that “IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) advisers openly speak of building ‘Houthis of the Caribbean'” — small, missile-armed boards, mines and kamikaze drones that can deny the U.S. or allied fleets unchallenged access to the southern Atlantic.”

Iran supplies drones to Russia to assist in its war in Ukraine and provides oil to China and to Cuba.

Yet, Kaine touts the way to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of the Iranian maniacs is a deal like that of former president Barack Obama, which contained a paragraph saying, “Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire nuclear weapons.”

Have you stopped laughing yet?

The current operations to destroy Iran’s vast arsenal of long-range missiles, plus its capability to enrich uranium to produce nuclear weapons, are vital to the U.S. and the whole world.

Thank you, president Trump, for doing what needs to be done to make a far safer world for the U.S. and all decent people.
