Larry Kudlow: Iran Declared War on America, Israel's Operation Rising Lion is a Gift

Iran's Declaration of War on America

• 💡 The core argument is that Iran declared war on America many years ago, a fact not publicly acknowledged by successive US administrations.
• 🎯 Iran's nuclear bomb development and long-range ballistic missiles pose a direct threat to the US East Coast.

Trump's Stance on the Israel-Iran Conflict

• 🔑 President Trump's 'America First' approach is highlighted, emphasizing that peace is impossible if Iran obtains nuclear weapons.
• ✅ Trump is presented as being on the same page with Netanyahu regarding Iran and has affirmed US support for Israel's defense.
• ⚠️ Trump will reportedly not sign a joint statement calling for de-escalation between Israel and Iran.

The Nature of Deals with Iran

• 🚫 Iran cannot be trusted, and any deal would likely be a fake one allowing them to buy time for nuclearization.
• 🌍 True freedom in Iran can only come with the overthrow of the theocratic dictatorship by a secular government, not through external nation-building.

US Support for Israel's Defense

• 🤝 The US is helping Israel defensively against Iran's missile attacks on civilian areas, as Israel is an ally.
• 💣 The US should assist Israel with penetrating bombs and heavy bombers to deal with Iran's deeply buried nuclear sites like Fordo.

The Stakes of Israeli Victory

• 📈 If Iran's nuclear sites remain operational despite Israeli actions, any Israeli victory will be temporary, leading to a repeat of the conflict.
