Rabbinical Assembly and USCJ Statement on US Strikes on Iran
Under the direction of President Donald J. Trump, the United States has taken deliberate action intended to neutralize the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran to advance American, Israeli, and global security. For decades, Iran has encouraged chants of “Death to Israel” and “Death to America,” while fueling global terror and instability through proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah. Iran sponsored the atrocities of October 7, providing financial support, training and arms. A nuclear Iran would have been an intolerable and irreversible threat to global security.
We pray for the safety of U.S. personnel and interests in the region, and for wisdom among leaders navigating this volatile moment.
Our hearts remain with the people of Israel and especially the hostages still being held in Gaza. We stand with their families and pray this action helps bring about their release. As we say in our prayers for the State of Israel: “May You bring peace to the land and lasting joy to all its inhabitants.”
