Iran’s brazen aggression in the Middle East has reached alarming new heights, with the Islamic Republic launching destabilizing cyberattacks across the region on June 11, 2025, while simultaneously advancing its nuclear ambitions and cozying up to authoritarian powers like communist China, Russia, and North Korea. These actions, coupled with President Donald Trump’s decision to place US military forces in the Middle East on high alert, signal a dangerous escalation that threatens global security. Two critical imperatives must guide the international response: Iran must be stopped from acquiring nuclear weapons, and its growing anti-Western alliances must be disrupted to prevent a global confrontation.
Another excellent analysis from Frank Salvato. The anti-American/anti-Israel ideological war in the Middle East is doctrinal for both Islamists and communists. The only difference is that one is religious and the other secular. Trade deals are simply pauses that enrich the enemies of America in the short-run, and further their long-term goals of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel." I hope the WH is reading Frank Salvato’s columns and hearing its important message.
