In the early hours of February 28, 2026, President Donald Trump announced that the United States had launched major combat operations against Iran, saying the strikes were necessary to defend the American people from imminent threats and to halt Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. The move marks a dramatic and decisive turn in U.S. foreign policy that the administration describes as aimed at eliminating the regime’s capacity to menace our allies and our service members.
U.S. forces coordinated strikes with Israeli military assets, hitting government, military, intelligence and nuclear-related sites across Iran in what officials called a sustained campaign to degrade missile, naval and nuclear infrastructure. The administration has framed the operation as both precision action and the beginning of a broader effort to ensure Iran can never field a nuclear weapon.
This operation did not come out of nowhere; it followed weeks of a large American buildup in the region and a pattern of provocations and proxy attacks that threatened American lives and interests. Conservatives who have long warned that weakness invites aggression see this as overdue enforcement of deterrence and a necessary reversal of the appeasement that emboldened Tehran.
Iran answered with missile and drone strikes against Israel and U.S. bases across the Gulf, and tragic reports emerged of civilian casualties, including strikes that hit a girls’ school in Minab and other populated areas. The cost will be heavy, and there is no sugarcoating that American service members and innocent civilians could suffer as this campaign unfolds.
Still, for patriotic Americans who put national security first, decisive action is preferable to endless talk and weak sanctions that achieved nothing. The choice now is clear: stand with our troops and our commander-in-chief while they dismantle a murderous regime that sponsors terror, or yield to the same policymakers whose caution and hesitation produced years of vulnerability.
President Trump used the moment to speak directly to the Iranian people, urging them to seize freedom and warning Iran’s security forces to lay down their arms or face annihilation; he framed the offensive as a chance for real change in Tehran. That boldness will inflame critics in the mainstream media and on the left, but history remembers decisive leaders who protected their people and their allies.
Americans must now rally behind the brave men and women in uniform carrying out this mission and demand that our political leaders provide them every resource to finish the job. This is a moment for resolve, not hand-wringing — protect the homeland, punish those who threaten it, and stand unapologetically for freedom and the security of future generations.
