The Escalating Crisis: Israel, Iran, and the Urgent Need for Presidential Leadership

By Brannon Howse
June 13, 2025

Folks, we are living in perilous times, and the events unfolding as of June 13, 2025, demand our attention. Last night on Worldview Radio, I laid out a sobering reality: Israel has struck Iran, and the fallout is already shaking the Middle East and threatening to spill over into America. With protests planned across U.S. cities today, Saturday, June 14, I’m gravely concerned about what could be a perfect storm—exploited by foreign enemies, domestic agitators, or even our own deep state. President Trump must address the nation from the Oval Office, warn Americans to stay vigilant, and clarify our role in this escalating conflict. The silence from the White House is deafening, and it’s putting us at risk.

Let’s break this down. Israel launched a unilateral strike on Iran, targeting key commanders in a brilliant operation. I say good riddance to those terrorists—Iran’s been funding atrocities like October 7th, and they’ve threatened to wipe Israel off the map. Israel has every right to defend itself, and I stand with the Jewish people, though not always with their government’s decisions. But here’s the problem: Iran claims America was involved, and their terror cells, imams, and jihadis in the U.S. likely believe it. Hezbollah, Hamas, and Muslim Brotherhood operatives are embedded in our communities, preaching “Death to America” in mosques every Friday. Add to that the Chinese Communist Party owning farmland across our nation and an open southern border that’s let in countless sabotage teams—some estimate 100,000 untracked foreign operatives. This is a powder keg.

I don’t buy Senator Marco Rubio’s tweet claiming the U.S. had no involvement. Reports suggest we helped deceive Iran to set up the strike, possibly shared intelligence, and maybe even provided refueling or satellite support. If we’re in this, President Trump needs to level with the American people. Why no Oval Office address? Why no heightened terror alert? After 9/11, we had color-coded alerts to keep people on guard. Today, with protests planned in blue cities—where cover-ups are easier—and Iran’s rockets raining on Israel, we’re flying blind. The President must warn Americans, especially the MAGA crowd, to stay home and avoid engaging with these deranged protesters. Tomorrow’s rallies could be a prime target for terror attacks or false flags, like those outlined in declassified documents like Operation Northwoods, where our own government once proposed staging attacks to justify war.

In Israel, the situation is dire. Our reporter, Aharon Levarko, and Dr. Rob Lindsted are on the ground, with Rob stuck in Jerusalem, dodging missiles and bunkering down at the Olive Tree Hotel. Aaron reports millions of Israelis in bomb shelters as Iran’s “severe punishment” operation lobs hundreds of ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv, a city of 2 million. Unlike last year, when only one of 300 missiles got through, Iran’s new launch sites and tactics are overwhelming Israel’s Iron Dome. Civilian buildings are hit, though bomb shelters are keeping casualties low—15 injured so far, no deaths reported. The IDF vows to take out Iran’s Supreme Leader if attacks on residential areas continue, and there’s chatter of Israeli jets heading to Iran now. This could escalate fast, especially if a missile hits Israel’s Dimona nuclear reactor, risking radioactive disaster.

Here’s where it gets personal for America. Our domestic policy doesn’t match our foreign stance. We back Israel’s right to strike Iran for threatening annihilation, yet we tolerate Iranian-sympathizing mosques and terror cells preaching jihad on our soil. Why isn’t the President addressing this “red-green axis”—the Marxist-Islamist alliance—operating in our neighborhoods? Colonel Rob Maness, a panelist on last night’s show, warned of Iranian and Chinese sabotage teams here, left unchecked by Obama and Biden’s open borders. Annie Cyrus, an Iranian-American, is “embarrassed” by Trump’s push for a deal with Iran, which she says was never possible. Dr. Andy Woods sees this as a stage-setting for Ezekiel 38-39, where Persia (Iran) invades Israel in the last days. This polycrisis—multiple crises converging—could ignite tomorrow’s protests, fueled by anti-Western, anti-Israel sentiment.

President Trump’s silence is a leadership failure. His base elected him to avoid Middle East wars, but if Iran or its proxies attack Americans, even MAGA will demand retaliation. Colonel Maness suspects disarray in the White House, with no national security advisor named and Rubio speaking for the administration. This isn’t just politics—it’s about protecting Americans. If attacks occur tomorrow and Trump hasn’t warned us, the media will pounce, blaming his focus on a birthday parade. He needs to be in the Situation Room, not distracted, ensuring fusion centers and DHS are on high alert.

Folks, pray for Israel, pray for Aharon and Rob, and pray for America. Share this with your family and friends—text, tweet, email, post on Truth Social.
