I just learned that US envoy Steve Witkoff recently discussed in a radio interview his experiences working alongside Jared Kushner during three failed negotiations with Iran, leading to the US attack on Iran with Operation Epic Fury. Witkoff reported to the President that it was clear Iran was being deceptive as well as unresponsive in rejecting all US demands for an end to their nuclear ambitions. Witkoff said they told him that despite the bombing done to destroy their underground nuclear facilities, Iran still possessed 22,000 pounds of enriched uranium, enough to make 11 nuclear weapons, and that it could be done in 10 days, and that 25 nuclear weapons could be assembled in 4-6 weeks. That appears to have been the last straw in making a decision that the US and Israel needed to strike Iran immediately and decisively. You have told us that the US will not win the war they started, and it is clear the pain inflicted will be massive. The Iranian handling of the negotiations seems not only defiant but deliberately provocative, even reckless. We understand that waging war is non-divine, but from a human perspective, expecting the US and Israel to remain passive with such a growing menace seems unrealistic. Was Iran bluffing, thinking the US would not choose to be the aggressor, or were they manipulated? What is most important for us to know about this horrible situation?

The US has now attacked Iran in Operation Epic Fury. Military air campaigns have been used frequently in modern warfare. But their effectiveness in “winning” wars has been heavily debated. It has often been concluded that bombing and missile attacks, short of nuclear annihilation, can start wars but not end them. In fact, bombing campaigns, with their inevitable civilian casualties, serve to harden hearts and steel inner resolve to never give up and never give in. People will hate their attackers too much to surrender to them, and oftentimes, ground troops must be used to achieve and maintain a meaningful victory. In light of this past history, it seems naïve that the US will “win” in pummeling Iran from the air alone. What is Creator’s perspective about what will happen now?
