“Thank God for his protection on our troops. We are not at war with Iran, we are at war with Iran’s military nuclear program,” Pearl wrote in X. “The President wants peace, now the ball is in the court of Iranian leadership. Iran’s terrorist reach has been diminished but still present.”
Pearl has been a firm defender of Israel, and his voice in his support has grown since Hamas’ terrorist attacks against the nation on October 7, 2023.
At the beginning of the week, he expressed his support for the president while weighing potential attacks on Iran.
“We can return and talk about 1982 in Lebanon and all the American Marines who were killed,” said Outkick in “Don’t Me with Da Dan Da Dakich.” “We can talk about October 7, where 45 Americans were killed. And they were kidnapped, you know, six or seven more and executed them before Israel rescued them.

“This has been happening since 1979, and is about to become a safer place, a non -nuclear Iran. And without having the money to be able to do what they have been doing, the world will be a safer place.”
“If the Middle East becomes safer and stronger, look what is a dynamic country that is Israel. Look at all the unicorns that are there. Look at all high technology and development. Look all the wealth. If you started spreading that to some of these other countries in the Middle East, who are they going to associate with the United States?
