America answered a clear and growing threat with decisive action, and Operation Epic Fury was unleashed at the President’s direction to dismantle the Iranian regime’s war-making capabilities. The strikes began in the early hours of February 28, 2026, and U.S. Central Command has laid out the overwhelming force committed to destroying missile, naval and command nodes that threatened our interests and allies. Proud Americans should see this as the restoration of deterrence after years of weakness.
Tehran’s ruling circle moved quickly to anoint Mojtaba Khamenei as the new supreme leader, signaling a hardline succession that will not calm the region or mollify our concerns about Iran’s ambitions. The regime’s predictable response—rallies, vows of revenge and bluster—only confirms that the enemy remains theocratic and implacable, not a partner for diplomacy. There is no mystery here: a regime that exports terror and sponsors proxies cannot be trusted to change course overnight.
Iran’s foreign minister has effectively put talks with the United States “off the table” for now, blaming the very aggression his government provoked and showing that Tehran prefers bluster to bargaining when under pressure. That posture proves the point President Trump made when he warned that concessions without strength only invite further aggression. Americans weary of endless appeasement should recognize that diplomacy backed by power is the only path to real, lasting outcomes.
President Trump’s response has been unambiguous: he called Tehran’s choice unacceptable, warned that any disruption of oil flows would bring far harsher punishment, and made clear the U.S. will not be bullied into weakness. That clarity—telling our enemies they will face overwhelming consequences—is exactly what stops wars from spiraling out of control and what finally protects American interests abroad. The Commander-in-Chief is projecting strength where previous leaders offered sermons and press releases instead of action.
Critics on the left and the establishment media will cluck and wring their hands about escalation while ignoring that global markets and allies reacted to Iran digging in; oil spiked and markets jumped on the reality that decisive action changes calculations in Tehran. Now is not the time for hand-wringing or partisan second-guessing; it is the time for the country to rally behind a strategy that defends American lives, keeps energy flowing, and dismantles the regime’s capacity to threaten the world.
Hardworking Americans understand what’s at stake: security, prosperity, and the safety of our men and women in uniform. Stand with the President who chose to confront the danger rather than pretend it would vanish with platitudes, demand that Congress back our troops and our strategy, and hold the line until Iran learns the price of terror and the value of peace through strength.
