The nations feared that a U.S. strike would lead to a violent response against them.\n<\/p>\n<p>President Trump has since taken action against Iran, albeit not in the form of a military strike. He announced tariffs against any country trading with Iran last week, including longtime U.S. adversaries Russia and China.\n<\/p>\n<p>This story demonstrates the tight, positive relationship between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu. It also, as the Western Journal notes, dispels some myths about Israel. Many have argued, as the Journal notes, that Israel is a power-hungry nation determined to drag America into a war with Iran. And yet, in this instance, Israel appears to have been the more measured of the two nations.\n<\/p>\n<p>Though President Trump did not strike Iran this time, there\u2019s no telling what may happen if the Islamic nation continues to attack it\u2019s own people. Let\u2019s pray for peace in Iran, and let\u2019s ask God to give our President and Prime Minister Netanyahu wisdom as they deal with this oppressive dictatorship!\n<\/p>\n<h4>How are you praying about Iran?
