Midnight Hammer: How Trump outsmarted Congress, the media, and Iran in one move - opinion
Like most other Israelis, there was nothing I wanted more this past week than that US President Donald Trump would decide to enter the war on our side. And then he did.

I never imagined that I would ever be so delighted to be proven completely wrong three and a half hours after sending in an article to The Jerusalem Post.
Yet, this is exactly what happened to me early Sunday, when a massive US attack obliterated the three most important Iranian nuclear facilities: the nuclear enrichment site at Fordow, which is located 300 feet beneath a mountain, and where until very recently Iran stored the 400 kg. of highly enriched uranium it had; the facility at Natanz, where Iran was reported to have developed and assembled centrifuges for uranium enrichment; and Iran’s nuclear research complex at Isfahan.
Much of what I had written about were the many reasons why US President Donald Trump was delaying a decision to join Israel in its attacks in the previous week on Iran’s nuclear facilities, which posed an existential threat to Israel, and rocket-launching facilities, from which Iran had been launching rockets, primarily at civilian targets all over Israel, with significant damage caused to apartment buildings and private homes, and causing some fatalities of persons who had been unable (or unwilling) to seek refuge in safe rooms and air-raid shelters.
One of the foci of my original article was the following event. Towards the evening in Israel (US midday) of Thursday, June 21, Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, gave a press briefing in Washington in which she delivered a statement “directly from the president,” which said: “Based on the fact that there’s substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to [join the Israeli attack in Iran] within the next two weeks.”
This statement infuriated a majority of Israelis – supporters of both the coalition and the opposition – who were expecting the US to join the Israeli attack, and especially to send B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to drop GBU-57 massive ordnance penetrator bombs (MOPs) on the Iranian enrichment site at Fordow.
