President Trump abruptly called off sending his envoys to Islamabad this weekend, telling Fox News that “they can call us anytime they want” and that he had ordered the team to stand down. Americans weary of endless travel and empty negotiations should welcome a president who refuses to squander time or legitimacy on theater.
The envoys in question — Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff — were preparing to engage with Iranian representatives after Tehran’s foreign minister visited Pakistan, but that minister left without clinching a deal. Mr. Trump made it clear the United States holds the leverage and will not be rushed into paper agreements that reward aggression.
Republican leaders like Rep. Michael McCaul rightly remain skeptical about any quick diplomatic breakthrough and have stressed that sanctions and diplomatic pressure must continue to squeeze Tehran. Conservative foreign policy hawks should applaud McCaul’s insistence that America pair firmness with smart statecraft rather than capitulation.
A fresh Fox News poll shows 45 percent of voters now support military action against Iran, a clear signal that many Americans back decisive measures when our national security is threatened. That number is a reminder to Washington that voters want strength, not weakness, and expect leaders to protect American lives and energy security.
The real scandal here is the predictable chorus of hand-wringing from the media and left-leaning elites who would prefer backroom deals that let Tehran regroup. Trump’s move to make Iran come to the table on our terms is calculated and patriotic; conservatives should press Congress and the military to keep every option ready while continuing pressure on the regime.
Hardworking Americans understand that peace through strength is not a slogan but a necessity; we will not surrender our security for phony diplomacy. Stand with leaders who refuse to bend the knee to theocrats, demand accountability, and protect American interests at home and abroad.
