On Feb. 28, 2026 the United States, alongside Israeli partners, launched Operation Epic Fury — a decisive campaign aimed at dismantling Iran’s military infrastructure and denying the regime its nuclear ambitions. The scale and speed of the strikes were no accident; Washington signaled it would no longer tolerate a theocracy that long sponsored terror and threatened our allies.
Renowned historian Victor Davis Hanson has warned that continued pressure could produce the very outcome patriots have long hoped for: the collapse of the mullahs’ rotten regime. Hanson’s analysis, circulated through respected policy outlets, makes clear this is not wishful thinking but sober historical judgment — when a state is hollowed from within, external pressure can be the match that finally ends its tyranny.
Even Europe’s tepid but notable support for the operation should sober skeptics: when old allies who once tolerated appeasement start signaling alignment with enforcement, the international balance is shifting. Diplomatic statements from several Western capitals show that many governments now see Iran as a pariah whose murderous behavior cannot be endlessly indulged.
This outcome didn’t happen by accident; the administration has been explicit about degrading Iran’s capacity — striking command nodes, missile workshops, and nuclear-related sites to remove threats before they materialize. That kind of clarity in purpose, backed by competent military execution, is exactly what restores deterrence and protects American families.
Make no mistake, war carries a cost, and Americans have paid for bold action with lives and sacrifice — but the alternative of endless appeasement only invites more bloodshed and emboldens dictators. Our men and women in uniform deserve the nation’s full support now more than ever, and anyone who pretends that weakness is safer is selling a dangerous lie.
If conservatives want a foreign policy worthy of our creed, we must press on: keep the sanctions tight, starve the proxies, and support dissidents who want freedom more than theocrats want power. As Hanson reminds us, Iran’s edifice has always been brittle beneath its bluster; with sustained resolve from Washington and its partners, the American people can help finish what decades of appeasement left undone.
