Our military has quietly been watching the Strait of Hormuz and key Iranian nuclear sites — a fact Fox’s Trey Yingst laid out this week when he revealed what was described on-air as a previously secret U.S. operation to counter Iran’s attempts to choke off global oil traffic. Americans should be grateful our commanders are doing the hard work overseas, even when the political class refuses to give them the clear backing they deserve.
Washington’s enemies are testing our resolve, and the president’s blunt warnings through the same interview underscore that deterrence must be backed by action, not hollow rhetoric. When the president told Trey Yingst that allied interference would be met with overwhelming force, it was the kind of clarity that keeps bad actors from escalating conflicts.
Reports now make clear the focus isn’t only on surface skirmishes in the Gulf but on Iran’s underground nuclear infrastructure — the kind of fortified facilities that require precise intelligence and decisive planning. Conservatives know that credible military options, including strikes against hardened sites, are necessary to stop a regime that repeatedly flouts international norms and bankrolls terrorists.
At home, the same establishment that squanders our advantage with dithering diplomacy still lectures Americans about restraint while our sailors and airmen keep watch in dangerous waters. Hardworking patriots understand that peace through strength isn’t a slogan — it’s the policy that keeps our families safe and our trade routes open.
Today also marks a solemn remembrance: retired Lt. Col. Scott Mann appeared on Fox & Friends to reflect on the five-year anniversary of the Abbey Gate attack in Kabul, where American courage was met with tragic loss during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. Those who died defending our people and our commitments deserve more than platitudes; they deserve an America that learns from its failures and never abandons its own.
If Washington wants the country to rally behind the troops, it should stop rewarding weakness and start delivering real policies that secure our interests abroad and bring accountability at home. Stand with our military, demand clarity from our leaders, and never forget the lessons of Abbey Gate — because freedom requires the courage to act, not the cowardice of endless excuses.
