President Trump’s reported decision to lean toward an initial, limited strike on Iran is exactly the kind of decisive leadership America needs when the survival of our allies and the safety of the homeland are at stake. Multiple reports say the strike would be a calibrated show of force meant to force Tehran to abandon any path to a nuclear weapon rather than endless appeasement.
Sources indicate potential targets under consideration include Revolutionary Guard headquarters, nuclear sites and elements of Iran’s ballistic missile program — and that the administration has not ruled out larger options if diplomacy fails. That clarity of purpose should reassure patriots who remember what weak foreign policy costs in lives and liberty.
This posturing is not happening in a vacuum: America has moved carrier groups, aircraft, tankers and other forces into position while negotiators are set to meet in Geneva later this week in what officials call a last-ditch effort. The deployment and diplomatic timetable show the White House is pushing hard for a deal but is prepared to use muscle if Tehran refuses to back down.
Reporting also shows the president and his national security team have been weighing a range of options, from a limited, targeted strike to a more expansive campaign if Iran won’t quit enriching. Critics on the left and in the spineless press will scream about escalation, but strength often prevents far greater wars — and the American people elected a commander-in-chief who understands that.
Those who worry about unintended consequences should remember the real alternative: a nuclear-armed Iran emboldening proxies across the Middle East and threatening our friends and service members. Intelligence warnings about Tehran directing proxy attacks in response to pressure make clear that this administration must plan for retaliation even as it seeks a diplomatic off-ramp.
Patriots must demand that Congress back a clear strategy and give our military the resources and authority it needs to carry out a precise campaign while protecting American lives. No more hand-wringing or legal gimcrackery that ties the hands of chiefs of staff and commanders in the field — our troops deserve clarity and support, not conditional caveats from self-appointed experts.
The media leaks and hand-wringing from former officials are predictable, but the choice is stark: appease a regime that funds terror and pursues nukes, or act to remove that threat before it can be used. If the president moves forward, conservatives should stand firm in defense of American strength and the peace that only strength can secure.
