Right-wing activist Laura Loomer suggested on Saturday that Israel may be preparing to strike Iran, and mocked right-wing critics of Israel, saying they could no longer blame American aid for the conflict.
"I wonder if Israel will initiate the strikes in Iran first? Something is clearly about to go down," Loomer wrote on X on November 14.
"Oh well! We aren't sending them any aid anymore. Who will the Woke Reich blame now?" she added. "They are watching their whole world crumble in front of them. I can't say I feel sorry for them."
Loomer uses the term "Woke Reich" for right-wing commentators who are hostile to Israel. She has previously named Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson among them, along with Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopoulos, and accused them of echoing Iranian regime propaganda.
Her post came amid signs of rising tension with Tehran. Mossad director Roman Gofman was in Washington on Friday for talks with senior Trump administration officials about the war in Iran, according to Axios. The visit by Roman Gofman, one of Benjamin Netanyahu's closest confidants, comes as the Israeli prime minister is pressing President Trump to resume the war against Iran. Trump has so far rejected pressure from Netanyahu to return to combat.
Loomer's claim about aid refers to Trump's Election Day announcement. On November 3, Trump said that the United States will cease providing $4 billion in annual military aid to Israel by the end of this year. "We've already agreed that we will stop paying Israel by the end of this year. But we will help Israel if it needs it," Trump said.
The aid has not yet ended, however. The current memorandum of understanding runs through 2028, and Netanyahu's office has said Israel will move off U.S. military aid gradually. The United States and Israel are negotiating a military assistance agreement that could continue billions of dollars in annual American funding through 2033, Military.com reported on Friday. The proposal remains under negotiation, and neither government has announced a finalized agreement.
