At 8:15 a.m. PST this morning, Netanyahu gave a speech in which he said that, "Iran and Hezbollah tried to impose a new equation on us, and it is intolerable and unacceptable to me. They thought they would fire from Lebanese territory and Iran at Israel, and that we would not act. That did not happen and will not happen, not on my watch." According to him, "Right now this front is contained. If the terror regime makes a mistake and attacks us again, we will respond forcefully." This includes both Iran and its proxies of Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, for all are different manifestations of the same evil of the Iranian regime.]]>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 14:33:00 -0400<![CDATA[Rabbi Michael Barclay]]>https://pjmedia.com/rabbi-michael-barclay/2026/06/08/biblical-advice-for-president-trump-n4953728<![CDATA[In a recent article for PJ Media, I detailed my reasons for taking exception to Donald Trump’s management of the Iranian crisis. Anyone who has read Trump’s books, especially The Art of the Deal, and observed his policy measures involving trade and tariffs, knows that he regards himself—with justification—as the magus of contractual arrangements and accords. In The Art of the Deal, he furnishes ten criteria for bringing about successful transactions. Chief among these are “thinking big, maximizing one’s options, raising leverage, knowing your market, getting the word out (Truthful Hyperbole), and delivering the goods. Tough but fair.” Trump’s record shows that he has rarely failed to apply these rules, almost always leading to auspicious results.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 14:10:28 -0400<![CDATA[David Solway]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Ayatollah Ali Khamenei]]>https://pjmedia.com/david-solway-2/2026/06/08/shia-iran-and-trump-n4953731<![CDATA[It started so simply, as these things do, with a barrage of Iran's patented Totally Ceasefire Missiles™ that Israel knocked out of the sky.
