Trump believes he is threatening Iran with destruction, but it is America that now stands in danger.

If he attempts to eradicate Iranian civilization, the United States will no longer be viewed as a stabilizing force in the world, but as an agent of chaos—effectively ending our status as the world’s greatest superpower.

This would upend our economy and shatter the global order. The process is already underway, yet we still have time to avert catastrophe if Trump finds the courage to pursue serious negotiations rather than reckless rage and destruction.

We are crushing the terror regime in Iran with increasing force.

Yesterday we destroyed transport planes and dozens of helicopters, and today we attacked the railways and bridges used by the Revolutionary Guards.

This is the main point: these actions, which I approved together with the Defense Minister, are not intended to attack the Iranian people.

On the contrary, they are meant to weaken and crush the regime of terror that has oppressed them for 47 years.

This is no longer the same Iran, nor is it the same Israel. We are changing the balance of power from one extreme to the other.

In case you're thinking about using some weapon of mass destruction against the population of Iran... those people who are in direct contact with President Trump need to say, "No, I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this because this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out."

They need to say, "Figure out the codes (nuclear codes) on the football yourself" because everything hangs in the balance right now.

This is not hysteria. This is 100% real. And yet the people in this country, by and large, are sleepwalking along like, "No, the future will be pretty much like today, maybe a little different."

That's not the lesson of history. Things change fast and forever.

This government stands firmly with the Jewish community, and we will not stop in our fight to confront and defeat the poison of antisemitism.

We will always take the action necessary to protect the public and uphold our values.
