<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Georgetown University professor expressed his &#8220;hope&#8221; that Iran would strike an American military base — just one day before it did so.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I&#8217;m not an expert, but I assume Iran could still get a bomb easily,&#8221; Dr. Jonathan Brown wrote in a since-deleted X post on Sunday. &#8220;I hope Iran does some symbolic strike on a base, then everyone stops.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brown — who serves as Chair of the department of Arabic and Islamic studies and the Alwaleed bin Talal Chair of Islamic Civilization at <a href="https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/00336000014RYoCAAW/jonathan-a-c-brown">Georgetown </a></span> — went on to lob crude insults at both the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and <span style="font-weight: 400;">Reza Pahlavi, the Crown Prince of Iran.</span></p>
<p>President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/in-address-to-nation-trump-warns-iran-to-make-peace-or-face-his-wrath?author=Mary+Margaret+Olohan&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=In+Address+To+Nation%2C+Trump+Warns+Iran+To+Make+Peace+Or+Face+His+Wrath"><span style="font-weight: 400;">announced</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> late Saturday that the United States struck Iran&#8217;s secret, underground nuclear facility with six 30,000-pound &#8220;bunker buster&#8221; bombs. Iran retaliated on Monday, firing missiles at an American military base in Qatar. There have been no reported injuries.</span></p>
<p>The Daily Wire obtained comments from Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) on the professor&#8217;s post in light of the recent attacks on the American military base in Qatar.</p>
<p>Ernst said, &#8220;Especially after Iranian missiles were launched at American bases, it is disgusting for a professor in our homeland to wish for an attack on our brave servicemembers and call for more harm to Israel.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Antisemitic campus crazies continue to have a shameful obsession with supporting Iran and its terrorist proxies,&#8221; Ernst continued. &#8220;Make no mistake &#8212; the American people are safer and more secure today because of President Trump&#8217;s leadership.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brown deleted his post and shared an apology after being met with backlash.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I deleted my previous tweet because a lot of people were interpreting it as a call for violence,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;That’s not what I intended. I have two immediate family members in the US military who’ve served abroad and wouldn’t want any harm to befall American soldiers… or anyone!&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brown’s father-in-law, Sami Al-Arian, is also a well-known academic and is convicted of aiding a terrorist group. Al-Arian, who was a professor of computer science at the University of South Florida, was </span><a href="https://www.justice.gov/archive/opa/pr/2006/May/06_crm_260.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">sentenced</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to almost five years in prison for assisting the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in 2006. Al-Arian was subsequently </span><a href="https://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2015/02/al-arian-saga-ends-with-deportation-202233"><span style="font-weight: 400;">deported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to Turkey in 2015.</span></p>
