On February 28, 2026, the United States, in partnership with Israel, launched Operation Epic Fury — a decisive campaign ordered by President Trump to blunt Iran’s nuclear and missile menace and to punish decades of state-sponsored terrorism. Patriots who have watched our leaders hesitate for years finally saw a commander-in-chief willing to act rather than talk, and that clarity of purpose is exactly what national security required in a dangerous moment.
The administration has been blunt about the mission’s objectives: degrade Iran’s missile and drone infrastructure, strike IRGC command-and-control nodes, and deny the regime the capacity to threaten the region or pursue a nuclear weapon. These were precision operations that relied on air, sea and stand-off munitions, and the initial strikes were carefully targeted at military capabilities rather than American cities.
Predictably, some of our Gulf partners grumbled that they weren’t given enough notice, but let’s be honest — the priority had to be decisive action to protect American lives and Israel’s security, not endless consultations that leak and delay. Regional leaders are entitled to their complaints, but when seconds count and Iran is preparing to unleash missiles and drones, leadership means making hard calls to protect the homeland.
Iran struck back with missile and drone salvos across the region, and American troops paid the price; several service members were confirmed killed in the early days of the campaign, and President Trump warned more casualties could occur as the mission presses on. This is the brutal truth of warfare — freedom requires sacrifice, and anyone who pretends otherwise is selling a dangerous fantasy to the public.
Back home, the usual suspects in Congress rushed to grandstand and to try to hamstring the commander-in-chief with procedural votes and partisan theatrics, even as our troops are in harm’s way. Conservatives should not be fooled: lawfare and political posturing during wartime weakens our negotiating power and emboldens our enemies, and we need Congress to support clear objectives rather than undercut them for cheap headlines.
Make no mistake, this campaign is straining global weapons inventories and will not be painless, but the alternative — allowing Tehran to rebuild a nuclear and missile capability unimpeded — would be catastrophic for allies and for the United States alike. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and other administration officials have made clear the strikes are intensifying to press Tehran into submission, and conservatives should back a strategy that ends threats rather than papering them over.
If you value strength, secure borders, and the safety of American families, now is the moment to stand with our men and women in uniform and the leaders who showed the will to act. The rest of the world watched decades of weakness and called our bluff; Operation Epic Fury is the answer, and hardworking Americans should be proud that for once our policy reflects resolve, not retreat.
