(DCNF)—Brit Hume explained on Fox News Wednesday why President Donald Trump takes a cautious approach to dealing with Iran.
Trump demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender” to end its conflict with Israel. During an appearance on “Special Report with Bret Baier,” Hume said the president is pausing to assess the situation further.
“The Iranians are likely to string this along as long as they can. And the president has good reason for pausing or at least waiting before he agrees to fire a shot or drop a bomb. The first one being the Israelis are doing a great job so far of taking out much, if not most, of Iran’s nuclear program. There is obviously more to do. And it’s not clear the Israelis can do it all,” Hume told host Bret Baier.
Hume said the second reason for Trump’s hesitating is the ongoing Israeli efforts to dismantle Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities.
“The second reason for waiting is Israel takes out more and more of [the] Iranian’s ballistic weapons launchers. Those weapons, those launchers and those ballistic missiles don’t threaten the continental United States. But they are a threat to U.S. assets in the Middle East. I’m sure the president would like to see as much of that threat wiped out as possible before he took any action that could be retaliated against by Iran,” Hume said.
Trump on Monday urged an immediate evacuation of Tehran, saying that Iran “cannot have a nuclear weapon.” Israel launched preemptive strikes against multiple Iranian military targets Thursday, including the killing of top Iranian commanders, such as IRGC Commander Hossein Salami and Major Gen. Mohammad Bagheri.
Since Israel began its strikes, the U.S. has reportedly considered whether to join in targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also indicated that assassinating the ayatollah remains an option.
To effectively target Fordow, Israel would likely need American bunker buster bombs, as the site houses Iran’s most fortified nuclear enrichment facilities. Trump had given Iran a 60-day deadline on April 12 to negotiate over its nuclear program, which expired shortly before Israel launched its strikes.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
