For the 12th straight night, American forces struck Iranian military targets as President Trump ordered relentless pressure to punish Tehran for its attacks on regional shipping lanes and U.S. interests. This sustained campaign shows the President is finally using American strength instead of endless negotiations and appeasement, and it is waking up allies and adversaries alike to the cost of aggression.
Mr. Trump made a stark promise — every time Iran fires on a vessel in the Strait, a bridge or power plant will be destroyed — and he has followed through with concrete action rather than empty rhetoric. That kind of clear, consequential deterrence is what keeps Americans and global commerce secure; weakness only invites more attacks.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking at a regional summit, rightly called out Tehran for negotiating in bad faith while continuing to strike at ships and regional partners. Conservatives should applaud diplomats who pair tough words with tough deeds, because diplomacy without the credible threat of force is simply a leash for our enemies.
The escalating chaos has ripple effects: Iran-backed Houthis reportedly attacked two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea as the strikes continued, proving that soft policies would only empower proxies and endanger global energy security. Americans must understand that confronting Tehran directly reduces the need for endless proxy fights and protects our long-term economic and strategic interests.
Congress is finally moving to fund the administration’s priorities, recognizing that victory and deterrence require resources, not hand-wringing or partisan sabotage. Patriotic lawmakers should stop grandstanding and give the men and women in uniform the tools they need to finish the job and secure a durable peace.
This fight is not cost-free — U.S. forces and partners have been killed and wounded in the campaign, and that reality demands we be unflinching in our support for the troops and uncompromising with the enemy. If we are to preserve American lives and liberty, we must back leaders who will use decisive power to prevent the spread of terror and tyranny.
Now is the time for conservatives, patriots, and every working American to stand with our Commander in Chief and our diplomats who refuse to bow to threats. We should demand steady pressure until Iran is stripped of the ability to menace the world, and we should take pride that America once again leads with strength and resolve.
