The United States has allies in this fight with Iran, although you will be hard-pressed to prove this from mainstream media reporting. Israel has lost 18 of its citizens, our allies in the Gulf at least twenty. America has seen 13 of its soldiers and airmen killed in theater.
When allies fight alongside you and take the blows the enemy wishes could rain down on our country, we in America should at least raise their stories. Israel in particular has been at war with Iran since its ally Hamas launched the attack on October 7, 2023, with the invasion of Israel and the massacre that followed. Israel is now fighting alongside our forces in the skies over Iran (and perhaps on the ground with special forces and secret services!?) and is also waging a fierce battle in southern Lebanon after another Iranian ally, Hezbollah, renewed its attacks on northern Israel.
There are many Israeli journalists and analysts, who are excellent. On Amit and Nadav both have free newsletters. Podcaster Dan Senor hosts Nadav and Amit weekly on his “Insider” edition of the “Call Me Back” podcast.
MORNING GLORY: TRUMP HAS RESTORED THE GOP AS THE PARTY OF DEFENSE AND DEPRECIATION
As our ally, Israel has been at war since the 10/7 massacre, and their extraordinary contribution to this battle – which for them has two fronts and rockets coming in many times a day – is difficult to describe. But Americans should at least be aware of what the war looks like from their point of view (and from that of our Gulf allies, although I know next to nothing about which stories to follow there).
When the war is over, there will be plenty of time to deeply explore what was not covered or how the deep biases against President Trump and/or Prime Minister Netanyahu in mainstream news organizations influenced coverage of the war, but denying those biases is like denying that a war is happening.
Right now, however, the American and Israeli armies are methodically destroying the military that Iran’s radical regime has built up over the past 47 years. If it was a boxing match, the referee would stop the fight. But it is war and the list of targets is long.
WHY TRUMP DECLARES THE MEDIA’S IRAN WAR COVERAGE AS TOO NEGATIVE – BILLED BY RHETORICAL FCC SUPPORT
The US Central Command and the Israeli military both have excellent X-accounts, and President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu have been frequently available to the public. President Trump has probably set a record for asking and answering questions in the first three weeks of a major military action. There is simply no reason to complain about a lack of information about the war.

It is also not difficult to find out what our ally does and what burden he carries. The little sliver of America that hates Israel due to dark and age-old impulses (or profit) doesn’t count for much, even if they are vocal. Ordinary Americans should know what our allies, especially Israel, are doing. It’s not hard to find out. Good guests from across the Israeli political spectrum are not hard to find.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is the equal of all evil nations of the past half century. The hatred of the US and the West is generally unsurpassed, and they have never hidden that hatred. Its complete defeat would be a tremendous blessing for the world and the Iranian people.

Need proof? Read last year’s excellent book by Vali Nasr, the Majid Khaddouri Professor of International Affairs and Middle East Studies at the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington, DC: “Iran’s Grand Strategy: A Political History.”
This battle is the story of this decade, and its outcome is one of the few pivotal points in history that are obvious when they occur, like the fall of the Berlin Wall. That coverage of the war and our allies in it takes a back seat to, well, everything else is astonishing.
