No ceasefire between Israel and Iran can or will be permanent. That is the ugly truth that many do not want to face.
All a ceasefire means is that the ayatollah, Iran’s fanatical and genocidal dictator, who has made it his business for his entire rule to try and destroy Israel and undermine America, has some time in which to plan his next onslaught, while punishing those of his people who vocally hoped for his fall. We in the West make the mistake of believing that other people think the same way we do. They do not. Devout Muslims committed to jihad like Ayatollah Khamenei will never stop killing the infidels, because their cult has a more powerful hold on their minds than any material incentive could possibly have.
Even as Donald Trump celebrated the ceasefire, the nation of Israel posted on X, “Holocaust survivor Yvette Shmilovitch, 95, has been named as the fourth victim of the Iranian regime’s missile attack on Petah Tikva. She survived the darkest chapter in history, only to be killed by a regime that seeks to destroy the Jewish state. May her memory be a blessing.” Indeed. And may her memory stir all who seek Israel's survival to better understand the nature of its enemy.

Because the Islamic regime in Iran has committed itself for four decades to battling America and Israel, through infiltrating America’s government, funding and supporting terrorist proxies, and other insidious methods, there absolutely cannot be such a thing as a lasting peace. That is not our choice to make; it is their choice, and they are not going to make it.

As I mentioned above, Americans have a serious problem with the mentality that my mother calls “cultural imperialism.” Because, generally speaking, our Western values are that we prefer peace to war, that we want economic prosperity for all, and that we want to have good relations with other countries (though even here many of our leaders don’t believe any of that), we have this vague and wholly unjustified assumption that the rest of the world thinks the same. Khamenei is happy to sacrifice his people in the cause of jihad, and he will never stop trying to destroy America and Israel, even if it costs him his miserable life, because he is by our standards a fanatic. He really believes there are things more important than national prosperity, and for him war is a form of worship, commanded by Allah. That sort of enemy doesn’t want peace.
If you don’t believe me, just look at the conglomeration of Arabs who have called themselves the Palestinians since the 1960s. The Muslim Arabs were not satisfied with having Jordan arbitrarily created out of land that should’ve been Israel’s, they attacked Israel as soon as its modern rebirth had occurred, and they have been waging war on Israel ever since. No ceasefire with Hamas ever lasts long, no “peace” is more than a passing period for the terrorists to regroup. This is why the son of Hamas’s cofounder stated that the only truly viable solution to the Gazan problem is to reduce the territory entirely to rubble because the Gazans themselves, overwhelmingly pro-jihad as they are, are not ideologically salvageable. And he should know.
After winning every battle of the Vietnam War, America abruptly withdrew, leaving countless free Vietnamese to be massacred by the Communist Vietnamese. American leftists called that “peace” too. The problem with peace is that it only happens if both sides actually want it. And that most certainly does not apply to Iran.
