For the ninth straight night the United States struck Iranian military sites, hammering coastal surveillance, air defenses and missile stores as our commanders moved to blunt Tehran’s campaign of terror against commercial shipping in the vital Strait of Hormuz. This is not saber-rattling; it is deliberate American force brought to bear to protect global commerce and American lives.
CENTCOM made clear these waves of precision strikes are designed to “further degrade” the Iranian military capabilities that have threatened merchant mariners and emboldened the Revolutionary Guard for decades. Our military is using every tool—jets, drones, warships—to dismantle the networks Iran has used to blackmail the world with closed sea lanes and hijacked commerce.
This escalation followed a murderous Iranian barrage that cost two American service members their lives in Jordan and left another missing, the latest in a string of attacks that prove the regime will not stop until it is decisively stopped. Every patriot should feel the sting and the fury of that loss—our sons and daughters did not die in vain; their sacrifice demands victory, not milquetoast diplomacy.
President Trump told Fox’s Trey Yingst that the campaign will expand until Tehran returns to reality, even warning that energy infrastructure and bridges could be targeted if the regime refuses to negotiate in good faith. That kind of clarity—saying plainly what will happen unless the enemy stands down—is foreign to spineless leaders who once let Iran rebuild in the shadows.
Tehran answered with missile and drone strikes across the Gulf, setting off sirens in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan and showing once again that the mullahs’ playbook is terror and escalation, not negotiation. The choice facing Americans is stark: stand with a president who uses American power to defend our interests, or return to the days when weakness invited more aggression.
Make no mistake—the mission now is to break Iran’s ability to menace the region and to compel a real, lasting settlement that protects commerce and keeps Americans safe. Conservatives should be loud in support: fund the fight, back our troops, and demand an outcome that leaves Iran unable to threaten the world’s waterways or American allies.
Hardworking Americans know what’s at stake—freedom, security, and the rule of law on the seas. This is a moment to rally behind our men and women in uniform, to demand that our leaders finish the job, and to remember that strength, not surrender, keeps peace.
