(Daily Caller)—Special Presidential Envoy for Climate and former Secretary of State John Kerry, who played a key role in establishing the Iran nuclear deal, has not issued any statement regarding the Hamas terror attacks in Israel.
Kerry was a lead negotiator of the Iran nuclear deal, a signature foreign policy achievement of the Obama administration that allowed Iran to develop nuclear technology over time while easing crippling sanctions, and subsequently advised Iran to try to save the deal while out of government, according to CNN. Hamas, one of several prominent terrorist groups that receives support from the Iranian regime, murdered at least 900 people in Israel on Saturday, raped women and abducted dozens of people to keep as hostages in the Gaza Strip.
Kerry has not tweeted since Oct. 6, the day before Hamas launched the attack. Prior to the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, which editor-in-chief of the U.S. News and World Report Mortimer Zuckman described in 2015 as an “unforgivable betrayal” of Israel, Kerry engaged in a campaign of “shadow diplomacy” to stave off its termination, according to CNN.

The Trump administration formally identified Iran as “the leading state sponsor of terrorism” in the world in 2020. Hamas also murdered at least 11 Americans during Saturday’s rampages, according to Reuters.
Hamas claims that Iran provided backing for the attack, according to two reports by The Wall Street Journal. The Biden administration has condemned the attacks and reaffirmed its strong support for Israel as it strikes back against the terrorists, but the administration so far has not yet found any definitive evidence linking the Iranian regime to Hamas’ sophisticated attack, according to Reuters.
The Biden administration recently released $6 billion of frozen Iranian funds as part of a prisoner exchange deal, and has drawn criticism for making those funds available.
Administration officials have denied that the money can be used to fund terror, but Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said in September that his government will use the money as it sees fit, and numerous foreign policy experts and lawmakers told the Daily Caller News Foundation that money’s inherent fungibility complicates the Biden administration’s defensive messaging.
Another prominent official from the Obama era who supported the Iran nuclear deal, failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, condemned the attacks on Sunday. Former President Barack Obama broke his silence and denounced the attacks on Monday.
Neither the White House nor the State Department responded immediately to requests for comment.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
