Israel takes name of Iran operation from Bible verse

By Reuters June 13, 2025

JERUSALEM, June 13 (Reuters) - Israel has called its military operation against Iran "Rising Lion", taking the name from a biblical verse that promises a victorious future for a powerful Israel.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was photographed on Thursday putting a handwritten note into a crack of Jerusalem's Western Wall, Judaism's holiest prayer site, which in retrospect pointed to the looming strikes on Iran.

His office on Friday released a photo of the note, which said "the people shall rise up as a lion".

===============

Netanyahu’s reckless strike risks provoking a wider war and pulling in the United States.

Trump must oppose Netanyahu’s escalation and pursue a diplomatic path to deal with Iran’s nuclear program.

Trump must not violate the Constitution by involving American troops in Netanyahu’s war without coming to Congress.

Our foreign policy is dictated by Israel.
Trump will continue to do as he is told by Netanyahu.
If you want to know what America will do, spare yourself the fake White House press briefings and start listening to Bibi.

We are a colony of Israel.
Your politicians are bought and paid for.

The Israeli government bombing Iran is a dangerous escalation that could lead to regional war. War Criminal Netanyahu will do anything to maintain his grip on power. We cannot let him drag our country into a war with Iran. Our government must stop funding and supporting this rogue genocidal regime.

Israel's choice to bomb Iran puts us all at grave risk. We must reject endless wars, prioritize diplomacy, and act to honor our shared humanity.

Netanyahu cannot be trusted with offensive weapons that enable dangerous actions like what we saw last night. That is why we need the Block the Bombs Act.
