有影响力的福音派领袖在特朗普政府与伊朗的谅解备忘录（MOU）问题上出现分歧，与此同时中东地区冲突持续，关于该框架是增强了美国影响力还是有可能危害以色列的辩论愈演愈烈。
伊朗伊斯兰共和国上周末对科威特和巴林发动袭击，招致这两个海湾邻国的谴责，德黑兰随后继续在霍尔木兹海峡发动袭击，总统唐纳德·特朗普随后威胁要重新升级对伊朗的军事打击。
这种分歧出现在特朗普处境微妙的时刻：他正试图将对伊朗的军事压力转化为外交框架，同时不疏远那些助力他组建政治联盟的支持者。支持该谅解备忘录的人表示，特朗普先削弱了德黑兰政权，因此赢得了信任；而批评者则认为，任何在伊朗对以色列的威胁被永久消除之前就为其解除制裁的协议，都有背弃其基础选民期望他保护的盟友之嫌。
耶路撒冷锡安之友遗产中心创始人、特朗普的亲密福音派盟友迈克·埃文斯博士告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，许多人低估了这位美国总统。

“事实是，唐纳德·特朗普是结束加沙战争的关键人物，是促成人质获释的关键人物，也是打垮伊朗政权的关键人物，包括摧毁其海军、空军、导弹防御系统和领导层，”埃文斯说道。

埃文斯表示，全球有7.5亿信仰圣经的基督徒自认为是锡安主义者，他们或许在以色列的政治议题上存在分歧，但一致认为以色列是上帝通过亚伯拉罕赐予犹太人民的圣经应许之地。
埃文斯称，特朗普竞选总统期间曾与包括他在内的基督教团体会面，询问他们是否会支持自己，他们当时达成的条件是：特朗普在美国支持基督教价值观，并坚定支持以色列国。

“他承诺做到这两点，而迄今为止他超出了我们所有人的预期，”埃文斯说道。
“以色列愿意在中东为美国流血牺牲。美国需要尽一切可能支持以色列国。作为信徒，我们相信上帝缔造了这个国家。我们对以色列的未来毫无担忧，”他补充道。
美国官员与以色列国防军合作，于2月完成了“史诗之怒行动”，这场持续38天的行动旨在拆解伊朗政权的军事能力。
“通过成功的‘史诗之怒行动’历史性地摧毁伊朗的军事能力后，特朗普总统及其谈判团队促成了一份出色的、基于履约的谅解备忘录，该备忘录通过结束冲突、重新开放霍尔木兹海峡以大幅降低能源价格，并迫使伊朗承诺放弃核野心，维护了美国的利益，”白宫发言人奥利维亚·威尔士告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“特朗普总统与内塔尼亚胡总理关系密切，以色列一直是美国的伟大盟友。没有人比特朗普总统更伟大的以色列之友和和平斗士……美国及其全球盟友如今已经更加安全，因为美国和以色列采取大胆行动，阻止伊朗政权发展核武器，”一名白宫官员在给福克斯新闻数字频道的评论中补充道。

基督教领袖大会主席约翰尼·摩尔牧师告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，2016年，反对奥巴马总统的灾难性伊核协议是福音派人士团结支持唐纳德·特朗普的三大原因之一，这帮助打造了美国历史上最具影响力、最持久且最强大的政治联盟之一——这个联盟如今仍与他站在一起，并深知自身的力量。
“福音派人士知道，特朗普总统也知道，纸上的文字无法改变恐怖分子。问责才能改变，行动才能改变。这位总统愿意以历任总统都未曾有过的方式对抗伊朗政权，而该政权从未如此虚弱，”摩尔说道。
特朗普调整打击策略，同时抛出伊核协议，考验德黑兰是否会让步
“核威胁至少暂时已经消除。将伊朗带到谈判桌前的并非谅解备忘录，而是精准且持续不断的军事行动，粉碎了他们的核野心，打垮了他们的常规部队，”他继续说道。
“我们也知道，正如总统所知，该政权会为了欺骗所有人而不择手段——因为他们清楚自己无法欺骗总统本人。福音派人士完全信任特朗普总统。这并不意味着我们信任如今参与谈判的许多人，”他补充道。
他表示，总统必须应对的风险是，德黑兰将此变成拖延战术——这种伎俩至少两次在他的团队面前得逞并失败，也曾在拜登和奥巴马总统手中成功实施。
“最终，因为有总统在，美国也将在这场博弈中获胜——无论谈判是否成功。但很明显，我们这个群体的立场是什么。该政权只懂一种语言：实力。美国的实力，”他说道。

其他领袖对本届政府近期有关以色列的言论表示担忧。“宣扬正义给列国”组织主席劳里·卡多扎-摩尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，福音派基督徒在本届政府的选举中发挥了主要作用，他表示与伊朗的协议令人极度担忧。
“我们的核心议题之一，正如《创世记》和《俄巴底亚书》所述，是圣经要求我们站在以色列和上帝的选民一边。正如圣经所教导的，那些支持以色列的人将得到祝福，而那些诅咒她的人将被诅咒，”她说道。
“人们强烈感觉，以色列正在被背叛，被扔下车，以换取与伊朗伊斯兰共和国的协议。我们尤其担忧万斯副总统近期发表的尖锐且虚假的言论，这些言论可能被视为在诅咒以色列，”她补充道。
福克斯新闻数字频道联系副总统办公室置评，但遭到拒绝。
万斯曾支持以色列，但也表示当他认为以色列的行为值得批评时，他愿意批评该国。他在2月谴责反犹主义时告诉《每日邮报》：“我认为仇视犹太人令人作呕。”
“你不应该因为他人是白人而仇恨他们。你不应该因为他人是犹太人而仇恨他们。你不应该因为他人是黑人而仇恨他们，”他说道。
但万斯也明确表示，支持以色列并不意味着自动认同内塔尼亚胡政府。
“内塔尼亚胡总理，听着，他治理的国家显然是美国非常亲密的伙伴。但即便我们是亲密伙伴，有时我们的利益完全一致，有时我们的利益也会不一致，”万斯在6月10日《CBS周日早晨》的采访中说道。
特朗普的伊核协议引发一个基本问题：这真的算是一份协议吗？

特朗普政府公开公布了谅解备忘录的细节，内容包括立即豁免伊朗石油出口、若达成最终协议将提供至少3000亿美元的重建和经济发展援助框架，以及为期60天的谈判期，旨在就伊朗核计划达成全面协议。
基督徒以色列之友组织创始人兼主席约翰·哈吉牧师告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，就目前形式而言，该谅解备忘录往好了说也是考虑不周，因为美以两国取得的军事成果尚未完全巩固。
“我还没听说过任何人不对签署谅解备忘录的这种转变感到惊讶。美国竟然同意与一个拥有雄厚资金、追求核武器的军事化激进伊斯兰政权进行无限期谈判，谁会不感到担忧呢？”哈吉说道。
他补充道，大多数福音派基督徒和所有人一样都看在眼里：美国谈判团队似乎在距成功仅一步之遥时搞砸了。尽管如此，美以同盟仍是两国安全的基石，也是全球稳定的关键支柱。

退役美军领袖支持让以色列完成针对伊朗及其代理人的“收尾工作”
“从宗教角度来看，我们有神圣的使命站在以色列一边。从国家安全角度来看，我们在世界上没有比这更强大或更明智的盟友了。而从基督教朝圣者的角度来看，我们在圣地的圣所从未像现在这样开放且安全，”哈吉说道。
“能做的最‘美国优先’的事情，就是站在我们在该地区唯一真正的盟友一边，”他继续说道。
“伊朗伊斯兰共和国近半个世纪前成立之日起就向西方宣战。这一点从未改变。民主国家很少能自己决定敌人是谁。这场冲突的唯一结局是伊朗国内通过革命实现政权更迭，”哈吉补充道。
早间快讯：特朗普总统和美国正在打一场正义之战——并且正在获胜

埃文斯预测，在60天的时限过后，特朗普可能会将谈判延长90天，将谈判持续到今年年底乃至中期选举之后。埃文斯表示，特朗普届时将打垮该政权的经济命脉，夺取哈尔克岛，彻底让该政权破产。
“我没有恐慌，因为我了解唐纳德·特朗普。我是以色列境内对唐纳德·特朗普最坚定的支持者。我是主办使馆庆典、张贴所有广告牌并为他颁奖的人。我不会为此感到恐慌，”他补充道。
埃文斯表示，基督徒认为单靠炸弹无法赢得这场战斗，他们将祈祷视为最强大的武器。
“我们将于10月7日在西墙举办史上规模最大的祈祷活动，届时将有500万至1000万基督徒参与。目前已有十多位大使参与其中，还有23位我正在会面的大使希望代表本国参与，”他说道。
国际基督教耶路撒冷大使馆（ICEJ）主席于尔根·比勒博士表示，他的组织几十年来亲眼见证了伊朗政权逐渐将激进伊斯兰的利刃对准以色列，以及整个中东地区的本土基督徒。
“鉴于目前与伊朗领导人达成的协议，我们和大多数以色列人一样认为，针对这种无法容忍的伊朗威胁的战争，在达成必要目标之前就被叫停了，”他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“以色列是西方民主国家的伙伴，理应得到我们的全力支持，以捍卫我们共同的自由和价值观，该地区的许多基督徒将以色列视为获取自身自由和未来希望的灯塔，”他补充道。
比勒最终表示，应对伊朗威胁的最佳且最公正的答案，是德黑兰真正实现政权更迭。
“我们并未放弃希望，伊朗人民自己能够奋起反抗，推翻压迫他们的统治者，引导国家摆脱这种自我毁灭般的、一心要摧毁以色列的执念，”他说道。

美以教育协会创始人兼主席希瑟·约翰斯顿在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中，就该谅解备忘录回应称，美以关系几十年来推进了美国的利益，美国与伊朗的外交应该加强而非削弱这一关系。
“伊朗长期以来支持恐怖主义并威胁以色列，这让美国人有充分理由谨慎且怀疑地看待这项协议。任何与伊朗的外交举措，都应根据其是否推进还是破坏了这一进展来衡量，”她说道。

Trump’s massive GOP faith bloc raises red flag on Iran deal: Trust him, not his team
Pastor John Hagee called the MOU ‘ill-advised’ while Dr Mike Evans predicted Trump will ultimately bankrupt the regime

Escalating US-Iran tensions in Strait of Hormuz
Bill Hemm provides a detailed overview of the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Influential evangelical leaders are divided over the Trump administration’s memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran, as conflict continues across the Middle East and debate grows over whether the framework strengthens U.S. leverage or risks harming Israel.
President Donald Trump recently threatened to re-escalate U.S. military strikes against Iran after Tehran continued attacks in the Strait of Hormuz after the regime launched strikes against Kuwait and Bahrain over the weekend, drawing condemnations from both Gulf neighbors.
The split is emerging at a delicate moment for Trump, who is trying to turn military pressure on Iran into a diplomatic framework without alienating supporters who helped power his political coalition. Supporters of the MOU say Trump has earned trust because he weakened Tehran first, while critics say any deal that gives Iran relief before its threat to Israel is permanently neutralized risks betraying the alliance his base expects him to protect.
Dr. Mike Evans, founder of the Friends of Zion Heritage Center in Jerusalem and a close evangelical ally of Trump, told Fox News Digital that many people are underestimating the American president.
EVANGELICAL LEADERS RALLY FOR TRUMP AND ISRAEL AS OPERATION EPIC FURY RESHAPES THE REGION

“The facts are that Donald Trump was key to ending the Gaza war, he was key to getting hostages out of there, and he was key in breaking the back of the Iranian regime, including destroying its navy, air force, missile defense and leadership,” Evans said.

There are 750 million Bible-believing Christians around the world who identify as Zionists, Evans said, adding that while they may disagree on Israeli political issues, they agree that Israel is the biblical homeland given by God to the Jewish people through Abraham.
While running for president, Trump met with Christian groups, including Evans, and asked whether they would support him, Evans said, adding that they agreed on the condition that he support Christian values in the United States and stands by the State of Israel.

“He promised to do both and so far he’s exceeded all of our expectations,” Evans said.
“Israel is willing to shed its blood for America in the Middle East. America needs to do everything possible to support the State of Israel. We, as believers, believe that God birthed this nation. We don’t have any fear about Israel’s future,” he added.
U.S. officials worked with the Israel Defense Forces to complete Operation Epic Fury in February, which was a 38-day effort to dismantle the Iranian regime’s military capabilities.
“Following the historic destruction of Iran’s military capabilities through the successful Operation Epic Fury, President Trump and his negotiating team have brokered an excellent, performance-based MOU that advances the interests of the United States by ending the fighting, reopening the Strait of Hormuz to significantly lower energy prices, and forcing Iran to commit to abandon its nuclear ambitions,” White House spokesperson Olivia Wales told Fox News Digital.
“President Trump has a strong relationship with Prime Minister Netanyahu, and Israel has always been a great ally to the United States. There has been no greater friend to Israel and a fighter for peace than President Trump… Americans and our allies around the world are already safer for the United States and Israel’s bold actions to deny the Iranian regime the ability to develop a nuclear weapon,” a White House official added in a comment to Fox News Digital.

The Rev. Johnnie Moore, president of The Congress of Christian Leaders, told Fox News Digital that, in 2016, opposition to President Obama’s catastrophic Iran deal was one of the top three reasons evangelicals rallied to Donald Trump, helping forge one of the most consequential, enduring and powerful political coalitions in American history — a coalition that stands with him still and knows its power.
“Evangelicals know, and President Trump knows, that words on paper don’t change terrorists. Accountability does. Action does. This president has been willing to confront the Iranian regime in ways no predecessor would, and the regime has never been weaker,” Moore said.

“The nuclear threat, at least for now, is gone. What brought Iran to this table was not a memorandum — it was precise and unrelenting military action that shattered their nuclear ambitions and broke their conventional forces,” he continued.
“We also know, as the president knows, that the regime will say and do anything to deceive everyone around him — because they understand they cannot deceive the president himself. Evangelicals trust President Trump entirely. That does not mean that we trust many of those now involved in the negotiation,” he added.
The risk the president must manage, he said, is that Tehran turns this into a stalling game — as it tried and failed to do with his own team at least twice and did successfully with Presidents Biden and Obama.
“In the end, because of the president, America will win this too — negotiation or not. But it is clear where our community stands. The regime only understands one language: strength. American strength,” he said.

Other leaders expressed concerns over recent comments on Israel from the administration. Laurie Cardoza-Moore, president of Proclaiming Justice to the Nations, told Fox News Digital that evangelical Christians were largely responsible for the election of the current administration and said the agreement with Iran is extremely worrying.
“One of our core issues is the Biblical requirement to stand with Israel and G-d’s chosen people as described in the Books of Genesis and Obadiah. As the Bible teaches, those who stand with Israel will be blessed, and those who curse her will be cursed,” she said.
“There is a strong feeling that Israel is being betrayed and thrown under the bus in favor of the Islamic Republic of Iran. We are particularly concerned about recent harsh and false statements made by Vice President Vance, which could be perceived as cursing Israel,” she added.
The office of the vice president declined to comment when approached by Fox News Digital.
Vance has supported Israel but has also said he is willing to criticize the country when he believes its actions warrant it. He condemned antisemitism in February, telling the Daily Mail, “I think Jew hatred is disgusting.”
“You shouldn’t hate people because they’re White. You shouldn’t hate people because they’re Jewish. You shouldn’t hate people because they’re Black,” he said.
But Vance has also made clear that support for Israel does not mean automatic agreement with Netanyahu’s government.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu, look, he governs a country that has obviously been a very close partner of the United States. But, even when we’ve been close partners, sometimes we have interests that are perfectly aligned, and sometimes we have interests that are misaligned,” Vance said in an interview on “CBS Sunday Morning” June 10.
TRUMP’S IRAN AGREEMENT RAISES A BASIC QUESTION: IS IT ACTUALLY A DEAL?

The Trump administration publicly released details of the memorandum outlining plans for immediate waivers on Iranian oil exports, a framework for at least $300 billion in reconstruction and economic development assistance if a final agreement is reached, and a 60-day negotiating period aimed at securing a comprehensive deal on Iran’s nuclear program.
Pastor John Hagee, founder and chairman of Christians United for Israel, told Fox News Digital that, in its current form, the MOU appears ill-advised at best, as the military gains achieved by Washington and Jerusalem have yet to be fully realized.
“I have yet to hear from anyone who was not surprised by such an about-face in signing the MOU. Who would not be concerned with the U.S. effectively agreeing to forever negotiations with a highly militarized radical Islamist regime, flush with cash, in pursuit of nuclear weapons,” Hagee said.
Most evangelical Christians, he added, see what everyone else sees: The U.S. negotiating team appears to have fumbled the ball on the one-yard line. Nevertheless, the U.S.-Israel alliance remains a cornerstone of both countries’ security and a key pillar of global stability.

RETIRED US MILITARY LEADERS SUPPORT LETTING ISRAEL ‘FINISH THE JOB’ AGAINST IRAN, PROXIES
“From a religious perspective, we have a divine mandate to stand with Israel. From a national security perspective, we have no stronger or wiser ally anywhere in the world. And from the Christian pilgrim’s perspective, our holy sites in the Holy Land have never been more open and yet more secure,” Hagee said.
“The most ‘America-first’ thing one can do is stand with our only true ally in the region,” he continued.
“The Islamic Republic declared war on the West the day it was founded nearly half a century ago. That has not changed. Democracies rarely get to decide who their enemies are. The only conclusion to this conflict is regime change through domestic revolution in Iran,” Hagee added.
MORNING GLORY: PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE US ARE WAGING A RIGHTEOUS BATTLE — AND WINNING

After the 60-day timeframe, Evans predicted Trump is likely to extend negotiations for another 90 days, carrying them through the end of the year and beyond the midterm elections. President Trump, Evans said, will then break the economic back of the regime, take Kharg Island and completely bankrupt the regime.
“I am not panicking because I know Donald Trump. I am the strongest supporter in the state of Israel of Donald Trump. I am the one that hosted the embassy gala, put up all the billboards and gave him an award. I am not panicking over this,” he added.
Evans said Christians do not believe the battle can be won by bombs alone, and that they view prayer as their most powerful weapon.
“We are hosting the largest prayer in history at the Kotel (Western Wall) with 5 to 10 million Christians on Oct. 7. I now have more than a dozen ambassadors involved and 23 additional ones I am meeting with who want to represent their country,” he said.
Dr. Jürgen Bühler, president of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ), said his organization has witnessed up close for decades how the Iranian regime has progressively raised the sword of radical Islam over Israel, as well as over indigenous Christians throughout the Middle East.
“Given the current deal being worked out with Iranian leaders, we share the sense of most Israelis that the war against this intolerable Iranian threat has been stopped short of its needed objective,” he told Fox News Digital.
“Israel is a fellow Western democracy that deserves our full support in its fight to defend our shared freedoms and values, and many Christians in this region look to Israel as a light of hope for securing their own freedoms and futures,” he added.
Ultimately, Bühler said, the best and most just answer to the Iranian threat is genuine regime change in Tehran.
“We have not given up hope that the Iranian people themselves will be able to rise up and overcome their oppressive rulers and steer their nation away from this self-destructive obsession with destroying Israel,” he said.

Heather Johnston, founder and president of the U.S.-Israel Education Association, said in a statement to Fox News Digital in reaction to the MOU that the U.S.-Israel relationship has advanced American interests for decades and should be strengthened — not strained — by U.S. diplomacy with Iran.
“Iran’s long record of supporting terrorism and threatening Israel gives Americans ample reason to assess this agreement carefully and skeptically. Any diplomacy with Iran should be measured against whether it advances or undermines that progress,” she said.
