I recently went on Ynet News, one of the largest news outlets in Israel, to discuss the escalating protests across Iran and the reality of the Iranian people's fight against the Islamic Republic. Western leaders constantly fear the political cost of putting boots on the ground in the Middle East, but the reality I shared with the Israeli public is this: The boots are already there. The Iranian people are the greatest army ready to topple this regime, and they are already marching in the streets. They do not need foreign ground troops. What they need is for the West and Israel to take out the head of the snake. If the IRGC, Khamenei, and the oppressive command structure are neutralized by strategic strikes, the Iranian people will finish the job and reclaim their country. The window of opportunity is open right now. We cannot ignore the bravery of the people on the ground who are ready to take their country back once the regime's leadership is crippled. Watch the full segment to hear my complete analysis on why neutralizing the top command is the only step the international community needs to take.

The IRGC's refusal to sign a deal with President Trump is not just about adhering to the ideals of the Islamic revolution. It’s about survival as a criminal enterprise. Vahidi knows that a normal Iran means the end of the IRGC oil monopoly. These leaders would rather sacrifice the entire population than lose their own seats at the table. They are not just protecting their Islamic revolution. They are protecting their source of revenue and their lives.

the New Testament has anti-Jewish material baked into its foundation — not footnotes, the core narrative. Collective guilt for the death of Jesus pinned on the Jewish people across all generations (1). Replacement theology — the claim that Jews are no longer God's people and the church has taken their place (2). Jews portrayed throughout the gospels as betrayers, liars, children of the devil (3). This is the text itself, not a minority reading. I judge the doctrine, not the individual Christian. Today's generation can be kind, and often is. But people change, cultures change, politics change — the text does not. It sits there waiting for whoever decides to actually follow it. That is exactly why the text is the subject worth discussing, not the mood of the current generation. (1) Collective guilt: Matthew 27:25 — "And all the people answered, 'His blood be on us and on our children!'" Matthew 23:35-36 — "that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah... Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation." 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 — "the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind... But wrath has come upon them at last!" See also: Matthew 23:31-32; Acts 7:51-52. (2) Replacement theology: Matthew 21:43 — "the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits." Galatians 4:30 — "Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman." (Paul's own allegory: the "slave woman" = the Sinai covenant.) Hebrews 8:13 — "In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away." See also: Galatians 6:16; Philippians 3:3; Hebrews 10:9. (3) Betrayers, liars, children of the devil: John 8:44 — "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires... he is a liar and the father of lies."
