On June 13, 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, obliterating Iran’s nuclear facilities, including the Natanz enrichment plant, and neutralizing key military and scientific figures. This bold strike, decried by some as provocative, was a righteous act of survival to prevent a second Jewish Holocaust—one delivered by a nuclear-armed Iran. Israel’s resolute defense against a genocidal threat demands unyielding support.
Iran’s regime, for decades, has vowed to erase Israel, calling it a “one-bomb country” while stockpiling enriched uranium far beyond the needs of any civilian program. Unlike low-enriched uranium (3-5% U-235) used in nuclear power plants to heat homes and power lights, Iran’s uranium was enriched to near-weapons-grade levels (60% and higher), suitable solely for weaponizing missiles. The U.N. nuclear watchdog’s June 2025 report confirmed Iran’s non-compliance with non-proliferation agreements, with enough highly enriched uranium for nine nuclear warheads. This isn’t about electricity—it’s about annihilation.
Israel’s security chiefs, facing Iran’s accelerated weaponization and missiles capable of striking Tel Aviv, acted decisively. Prime Minister Netanyahu, once restrained, recognized that a nuclear Iran would hold a guillotine over every Israeli. The strikes, which gutted Natanz’s enrichment centrifuges and disrupted missile stockpiles, were not aggression but necessity. Enriching uranium to weapons-grade levels has no civilian purpose; it’s a one-way road to warheads, not wattage.
Critics wailing about “escalation” ignore history’s scars. The Holocaust taught Jews the cost of global inaction. Israel, forged in that crucible, swore “Never Again.” When a regime that denies one Holocaust pursues a nuclear sequel, Israel cannot wait for a radioactive dawn. Iran’s retaliatory missile salvoes, killing civilians and targeting homes, exposed its barbarity. While Israel struck military and nuclear targets, Iran fired at families, its enriched uranium dreams fueling genocidal intent. The “scientists” lost were not lighting cities but crafting apocalypse.
To those fretting over “stability,” imagine a nuclear Iran, its highly enriched uranium arming warheads, its proxies like Hezbollah wielding catastrophic leverage, its missiles threatening Europe. Israel’s strike, demolishing the machinery of weaponized uranium, averted global disaster. The world should thank Jerusalem, not chastise it, for halting a genocidal gambit.
Israel didn’t start this fight, but it will end it. Operation Rising Lion declared: the Jewish state will not be a sacrificial lamb. By crushing Iran’s nuclear ambitions—built on uranium enriched for bombs, not bulbs—Israel protected its people and the world. History will salute this as courage defeating calamity. For six million souls and beyond, Israel struck. And it was right.
