President Trump ordered a decisive counterstrike that Americans needed to see — Operation Hawkeye Strike was launched on December 19, 2025, striking more than 70 ISIS targets across central Syria in a calibrated but overwhelming show of force. Our military used fighter jets, attack helicopters, artillery, and over 100 precision munitions to make clear that attacks on U.S. personnel will not be tolerated.
This operation was not random bravado; it was retribution for a brutal insider ambush near Palmyra on December 13 that claimed the lives of U.S. service members and a civilian interpreter, a cowardly act that demanded an immediate response. The administration answered the call — no endless debate, no bureaucratic hemming and hawing, just swift action to protect American lives and punish those who target our troops.
CENTCOM’s release and on-the-ground reports show Coalition coordination, including Jordanian air support, and the employment of A-10s, F-15s, Apaches and HIMARS to wreck ISIS infrastructure and logistics nodes. This is how you dismantle terror networks: with precision, persistence and the force necessary to deny them safe havens. Americans who value safety should welcome this restoration of deterrence after years of flaky policies that invited chaos.
Let’s be plain: for too long Washington’s posture toward the Middle East treated strength as optional and restraint as a virtue unto itself. Conservatives know peace comes through strength — and when the Commander in Chief uses the military to defend Americans and allies, that’s leadership, not warmongering. Those on the left who complain now were the same people who cheered cut-and-run policies when our troops needed a clear plan.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet President Trump at Mar-a-Lago on December 29, where he plans to lay out options to blunt Iran’s ballistic and nuclear ambitions. Israel’s leaders are right to press for coordinated pressure; Tehran’s reconstruction of its missile and enrichment programs is not a theoretical threat but a strategic reality that demands American resolve.
If Iran thinks it can rebuild with impunity while the West dithers, it must be shown otherwise — and a close U.S.-Israeli partnership is the fastest way to do it. Trump hosting Netanyahu sends a signal the region understands: allies talk, they plan, and when necessary they act together to prevent another Iranian adventurism that would cost American lives and regional stability.
Hardworking Americans deserve a foreign policy that protects them first, backs our troops, and stands with friends who share our values. Support the men and women who carried out Operation Hawkeye and support the diplomacy that ensures it’s not wasted; demand accountability from feckless voices who would rather see America bowed than standing tall. Patriotism means supporting strength, justice, and a strategic mind that keeps enemies off our soil and peace through American resolve.
