Iran has a new supreme leader and he wasted no time promising vengeance for the death of his father, a development that should make every freedom-loving American sit up and take notice. Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei’s first public message was a vow to avenge those killed, a chilling reminder that the regime in Tehran remains bent on violence and revenge.
State media and reports make clear this is not empty rhetoric: the new leadership is signaling it will use every lever at its disposal, from closing the Strait of Hormuz to directing proxy attacks across the region. Tehran’s intent to keep pressure on global oil routes and strike U.S. interests illustrates a regime that prefers chaos to coexistence and must be met with resolve.
At the same time, allied intelligence work appears to have averted an even darker turn: Israeli officials shared information with the United States about a recent, allegedly specific Iranian plot to target President Donald Trump. Major news outlets report that Washington received this warning from Israeli sources while also picking up a steady drumbeat of hostile chatter — a sober reminder that intelligence sharing with allied democracies saves lives.
Fox News correspondent Lucas Tomlinson highlighted how that intelligence was described by officials as potentially life-saving, and credited Israel for stepping up to warn the U.S. about threats that target our leadership. In an era when friends who stand with us are too often smeared or sidelined, this kind of actionable cooperation deserves gratitude, not second-guessing.
Conservatives should be blunt: Iran has proven for decades it cannot be trusted, and those in Washington who downplay its murderous intentions are gambling with American lives. Even nonpartisan reporting has shown U.S. agencies warning about Iran’s persistent threats while some in power tried to minimize them — a dereliction that serious leaders cannot afford.
This moment calls for strong, principled leadership: stand with our Israeli ally, harden our defenses, and eliminate the capability of theocratic tyrants to export terror and death. Patriotism means protecting the American president, defending our citizens, and making clear that acts of aggression against the United States or its friends will be met with decisive American strength.
