Richard Goldberg, senior advisor at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, warned on Fox News’ Life, Liberty & Levin on February 21, 2026 that “history comes knocking at times you don’t expect,” and that America must be ready to answer. His warning was not idle rhetoric; Goldberg laid out the hard, operational realities the U.S. and Israeli militaries would face if called to execute a mission against Iran.
Goldberg made clear that the mission is not a political stunt but a complex military undertaking that demands joint operations, precise airpower, and layered missile defense to protect civilians and forces. He argued that our commanders and partners must be allowed to plan and act with the full backing of national leadership, because half-measures get people killed and empower our enemies.
The Trump administration, Goldberg noted, has not ruled out diplomacy but is keeping every option on the table, a sensible posture that should comfort patriots who want strength paired with prudence. This isn’t about saber-rattling for headlines; it’s about ensuring Iran never fields a nuclear arsenal capable of blackmailing or destroying allies.
Americans should understand what’s at stake: a nuclear Iran would redraw the map of the Middle East and hand Tehran the leverage to fund proxies, terrorize neighbors, and threaten global commerce. We cannot rely on wishful thinking or naïve internationalism; deterrence backed by credible force is the language dictators understand.
Mark Levin was blunt on the same program, reminding viewers that much of the media and academic class are too invested in preferred outcomes to offer reliable judgment at moments like this. Conservatives know our duty is to defend the republic and its allies, not to parse punditry for moral equivalence when our adversaries mass capabilities that threaten millions.
If Washington wants to keep America safe, it must empower our military and our allies, fund missile defenses, and give planners the latitude to execute with speed and precision when necessary. Cowardice and delay are luxuries we no longer have; strength and resolve are what keep American families safe at home.
This moment calls for unity behind a clear policy: deter, disarm, and, if required, destroy the instruments of Iranian aggression while exhausting diplomacy that returns with verifiable dismantlement. Patriots should stand tall with our soldiers and with Israel, demand competence from our leaders, and insist that history not be allowed to catch America unprepared.
