From whispered conversations in homes to chants in the streets, two names have become symbols of hope for many Iranians: "Uncle Trump" — as he is fondly called by many in Iran and the diaspora — and Bibi. In the hearts of those who long for freedom, these names represent courage, resolve and the possibility of a new future. 

There are moments in history when God raises leaders for such a time as this. In an age of confusion, compromise and cowardice, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have stood with uncommon clarity and conviction. Together they have represented strength in an hour when weakness would have invited disaster.

The Watchmen

President Trump stood as a watchman in Washington, boldly defending Israel and establishing himself as the most pro-Israel president in modern American history. He recognized Jerusalem as the eternal capital of the Jewish people. He moved the American embassy to Jerusalem when politicians before him made empty promises. He recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. He brokered the Abraham Accords and shattered the myth that peace could only come by pressuring Israel to surrender land. Finally, he has confronted the evils of antisemitism, not just with words, but with decisive action.
