President Donald Trump’s remark that “Iran has never won a war but never lost a negotiation” was echoed in the post. Kushner noted how Iran’s regime is more willing to sacrifice proxy forces like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis than its own, which he believes demonstrates Tehran's desperation.

He mentioned Iran’s failed assassination attempts on President Trump and cyberattacks on his campaign as reckless moves, only strengthening the resolve of its opponents.

Kushner also pointed to the stark contrast between Iran and its Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) neighbors. While countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE invest in their futures, Iran lags, tied to an outdated strategy of regional destabilization. As Hezbollah’s influence wanes, he argued, security and prosperity for Christians, Muslims, and Jews in the region will rise.

He then pivoted to Israel, asserting that with Gaza mostly neutralized, Israel now has a unique opportunity to dismantle Hezbollah in the north.

Kushner criticized calls for a ceasefire, stating that Israel cannot afford to back down now.

He praised Israel’s successful targeting of Hezbollah’s leadership and infrastructure, which has left the group weakened and its fighters hiding.

Kushner disclosed that over the last 10 months, Israel has gathered substantial intelligence through advanced technology and crowdsourcing initiatives.

He pointed out that with the confirmed death of Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, along with 16 other top commanders in just nine days, this moment could mark the beginning of a Middle East without an Iranian-backed arsenal aimed at Israel.

Kushner expressed hope for Lebanon, asserting that Hezbollah’s demise could lead to a resurgence in the country’s prosperity, recalling the days when Beirut was a thriving cosmopolitan city.

He stressed that the core issue between Lebanon and Israel is Iran, and once that is resolved, the two nations could benefit from working together.

Kushner urged the U.S. to back Israel in fully dismantling Hezbollah, noting that it is not just Israel’s fight.

He reminded readers of the 1983 bombing in Beirut, when Hezbollah killed 241 U.S. military personnel, including 220 Marines.

He praised Israel for eliminating key terrorists, such as Ibrahim Aqil, who was responsible for that attack, stating that this is a long-overdue victory for both Israel and America.

Kushner echoed the words of philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy, writing, “I keep reading everywhere that Lebanon is 'on the brink of collapse.' No. It is on the brink of relief and deliverance.”

He emphasized that moments like this come once in a generation, if they come at all.

Kushner added, “The Middle East is too often a solid where little changes. Today, it is a liquid, and the ability to reshape is unlimited. Do not squander this moment.”

He concluded with a hopeful message: “Let’s all pray for success, for peace, and for the good judgement of our leaders.”

September 27th is the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough.

I have spent countless hours studying Hezbollah and there is not an expert on earth who thought that what Israel has done to decapitate and degrade them was possible.

This is…
