Richard Grenell, President Trump’s special missions envoy, recently sat down with Rob Schmitt to unpack the dangerously fluid situation surrounding Iran — and he didn’t mince words. Grenell made plain what every American should understand: this is not a time for do-nothing bureaucrats or moralizing cable hosts, it’s a moment that demands clarity and resolve from Washington.
For those who still doubt why Grenell matters, remember he was formally tapped as Trump’s special missions envoy to take on the hardest foreign-policy problems and deliver results where the usual foreign-policy class fails. His appointment signaled a return to straightforward, America-first diplomacy — the kind that actually protects our people and interests rather than handing our security to international wishful thinkers.
While left-wing outlets spin panic, the Pentagon has quietly adjusted posture at critical bases like Al Udeid in Qatar, advising some personnel to leave as a prudential measure amid Tehran’s menacing threats. This is smart, disciplined planning — not surrender — and it shows a White House that understands how to deter an enemy without telegraphing weakness to the entire region.
President Trump has matched words with action, warning Tehran that the United States will not stand by while protesters are butchered and even imposing hard economic pressure on nations doing business with the regime. The president’s 25 percent tariff threat and public readiness to consider military options tell dictators everywhere that America under Trump will again put consequences behind its convictions.
Make no mistake, the Iranian regime sits on a tinderbox after a brutal crackdown that has killed and detained thousands, and Tehran has openly signaled it would strike U.S. bases if provoked. That reality requires a combination of ironclad deterrence, diplomatic isolation, and targeted pressure — exactly the toolkit Grenell and this administration are wielding.
Americans should be proud to have leaders who speak plainly and act decisively instead of offering moral preening while our bases and allies burn. Grenell’s bluntness and Trump’s readiness to use every tool in the toolbox are the exact antidote to eight years of weakness and appeasement from the other side of the aisle.
It’s time for patriotic citizens to stand behind a strategy of peace through strength, back our military and negotiators, and reject the timid, hand-wringing chorus of the mainstream media. We want a peaceful world, but peace only comes when our enemies know the cost of crossing us — and that is precisely what this administration is restoring.
