"Two Israeli officials claimed to Axios that Trump and his aides were only pretending to oppose an Israeli attack in public—and didn't express opposition in private. "We had a clear US green light," one claimed. The goal, they say, was to convince Iran that no attack was imminent and make sure Iranians on Israel's target list wouldn't move to new locations..." -from Axios

The operation, which is continuing into Friday, came after President Donald Trump asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to give Iran 60 days for negotiation. Operation Rising Lion commenced on Day 61.

Throughout Thursday night, we awaited a statement from Trump. In our internal chats on Slack, members of the PJ Media team anticipated that Trump's statement, when it came, would be a big one. Finally, the president broke his silence in the early hours of Friday with two posts on Truth Social.

In the first post at 5:56 a.m. ET, Trump lamented that the Iranian leadership wouldn't make a deal:

Certain Iranian hardliner's [sic] spoke bravely, but they didn't know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse! There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. God Bless You All!
