(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.

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
I think the flaw in that plan is that an Iran without crazy Mullahs will need the oil revenue to get back on its feet.
Oh my, the RINO speaks. Can I stand the strain?
