(DCNF)—President Donald Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Friday on “Hannity” that Israel could weaken Iran financially if they were to strike their oil refineries next.
Israel began its preemptive strikes against Iran Thursday, sending dozens of Air Force jets to complete the “first stage” on multiple military targets. While appearing on “Hannity,” host Sean Hannity asked Meadows if he believes Israel could target oil refineries, in addition to the nuclear facilities it’s already hit.
“At this point I don’t think they stop until they take out all of those nuclear facilities. The question is do they go further? Do they take away the ability of the Iranians to get any money at all, which would be oil, and that means take out their refineries?” Hannity asked.
“Well the only way they go after the oil is if indeed the escalation that we’re seeing tonight — literally as we’re talking, missiles are going into not only Tel Aviv but other areas of Israel. So if it continues to escalate, those kinds of oil production facilities and others will be targeted,” Meadows said.
Following the initial attack from Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released an over seven minute video detailing the country’s “Operation Rising Lion.” He said his country will aim to “roll back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very survival.”
Meadows said Israel has been strategic in attacking Iran.
“But your point of and [Republican Arkansas] Senator [Tom] Cotton’s point of the strategic nature of the attack last night where Israel came in and actually went after military, not only targets, but individuals and not after civilians. We’re seeing a different thing tonight. I will say that President Trump has been extremely patient not only with the 60 days but even giving them a second chance right now saying ‘Come on to the table.’”
“But let me just say even under the previous government in Iran with Foreign Minister Zarif and others negotiating, what we see is a lot of talk and very little agreement. They will talk on one hand, prolong the negotiations and actually not ever agree to anything that would preclude them from having a nuclear weapon.”
Iran struck back Friday, hitting multiple areas across Tel Aviv with a barrage of ballistic missiles. Prior to that, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country “struck the heart of Iran’s nuclear weaponization program.” Iranian state media reported the deaths of top military leaders, including Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Commander-in-Chief Hossein Salami.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio released a statement following Israel’s initial strikes, saying the U.S. was not involved. By Friday, Trump said the U.S. was aware of the operation beforehand but did not aid in the attack.

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.
