A back translation into English of a statement by Jared Kushner, Trump's Jewish son-in-law, regarding the assassination of Seyed Hassan Nasrallah asserting that Iran has been dramatically weakened"September 27 is the most important day in the Middle East since the Ibrahim agreement was reached.
I have spent countless hours studying Hezbollah and there is no expert on earth who thinks what Israel has done to decapitate and humiliate them is possible.
This is important because Iran is now completely at risk. The reason their nuclear facilities were not destroyed despite their poor air defense systems is because Hezbollah has a loaded gun pointed at Israel. Iran has spent the last forty years building this capability as its deterrent.
President Trump often says: "Iran has never won a war, but it has never lost a negotiation." The Islamic Republic system is much tougher when it endangers the lives of Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, and the Houthis than when it endangers its own life. Their stupid attempts to assassinate President Trump and hack his campaign and make the grand coalition harder against them reeks of desperation.
Iran's leadership is stuck in the old Middle East, while their neighbors in the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council are moving toward the future by investing in their population and infrastructure. They are becoming dynamic magnets for talent and investment while Iran lags behind. With the elimination of Iran's proxies and threats, the security and prosperity of the region will increase for Christians, Muslims (Vadada countries) and Jews alike.
Israel now finds itself with the Gaza threat largely neutralized and the opportunity to neutralize Hezbollah in the north. It's unfortunate how we got here, but maybe there's a silver lining in the end.
Anyone who called for a ceasefire in the north is wrong. There is no going back for Israel. They can't help but finish the job now and completely destroy the arsenal targeting them. They will never get another chance.
After brilliant tactical successes and the rapid firing of pagers, radios and leadership targeting, Hezbollah's massive arsenal is unguarded and unmanned. Most of the Hezbollah fighters are hiding in their tunnels. Anyone still around wasn't important enough to carry a pager or be invited to a leadership meeting. Iran is also insecure and is not sure to what extent its information has been penetrated. It would be irresponsible not to take full advantage of this opportunity to neutralize the threat.
I've heard amazing stories about how Israel has been gathering information in the last 10 months with some brilliant technology and crowdsourcing initiatives.
But today, with the confirmed death of Nasrallah and the removal of at least 16 top commanders in just nine days, was the first day I thought about a Middle East without Iran's full arsenal aimed at Israel. So many more positive results are possible.
This is a moment to stand behind the nation of Israel and a large part of the Lebanese who are trapped by Hezbollah and want to return to the prosperity of their country and make Beirut a world city. The main issue between Lebanon and Israel is Iran. Otherwise, there are many benefits for the people of both countries from joint cooperation.
The move right now for America is to tell Israel to shut up. It is too late and this is not just Israel's battle.
More than 40 years ago, Hezbollah killed 241 US military personnel, including 220 Marines. It is the single deadliest day for US Marines since the Battle of Iwo Jima. On the same day, Hezbollah killed 58 French paratroopers.
And now, in the last six weeks or so, Israel has killed as many terrorists on the United States' most wanted list as the United States has done in the last 20 years. Including Ibrahim Aqeel, the leader of the Islamic Jihad organization Hezbollah, who planned the killing of those marines in 1983."
