On Saturday, June 21, 2025, shortly before 7 p.m. New York time, American fighters, bombers, and missiles struck Iranian nuclear facilities. The intent was to end Iran’s nuclear threat, and the attack appears to have been highly successful in achieving that aim.

Trump urges Iran not to respond by attacking American assets and personnel, and he warns them of severe consequences if they do so. He emphasizes that his war is not with Iran or the Iranian people but with the Iranian regime’s attempt to fabricate atom bombs. For the last 10 years Trump has consistently stated his belief that Iran must never have nuclear weapons. He hopes that this one attack will end the matter, we will not be bogged down in a continuing Middle East war, and he can concentrate on his efforts to rebuild America’s economy.

I pray that Trump’s gambit is successful.
