CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 25, 2025
WHAT’S NEXT FOR IRAN, ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES IS THE QUESTION BEING ASKED BY JUST ABOUT EVERYONE?
WITH IRAN’S NUCLEAR FACILITIES APPARENTLY DESTROYED, WILL THEY TRY TO REBUILD? WILL THE AYATOLLAH LEADERSHIP BE REPLACED AND IF SO, BY WHOM, AND WILL THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT POLICY THAN THE CURRENT RELIGIOUS DICTATOR?
MY VIEW IS THAT THE 88-YEAR-OLD AYATOLLAH KHAMEINI WILL BE RELACED, BUT I CAN’T SEE IT WILL BE BY A SECULAR LEADER WHO IS LESS HOSTILE TO ISRAEL AND AMERICA. YOU DON’T SHOUT “DEATH TO AMERICA” AND “DEATH TO ISRAEL” FOR 40 YEARS AND NOT MEAN IT.
THIS IS NOT ONLY A RELIGIOUS WAR, IT IS A WAR BETWEEN CIVILIZATIONS – ONE BACKWARD AND TOTALITARIAN, THE OTHER PRO-FREEDOM AND TOLERANT OF OTHERS.
RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM IS NOT ABOUT TO ACCOMMODATE WITH ANYONE, SO IT MUST CONSTANTLY BE DEFEATED AND ITS THREAT GREATLY DIMINISHED. THEY ARE AN APOCALYPTIC MOVEMENT. ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. THEIR GOAL IS WORLD DOMINATION WITH SUBJUGATION TO THEIR TWISTED FAITH. THEY SAY SO AND THEY HAVE PROVEN SO OVER MANY CENTURIES.
THIS LATEST ACTION BY ISRAEL AND THE U.S. MAY ONLY BE THE END OF THE BEGINNING. I’M CAL THOMAS.
