Former State Department official Brian Hook told Trey Gowdy on Sunday that the Trump administration has moved aggressively and intelligently to neutralize Iran’s threat, insisting the president is “putting the Iran challenge behind us decisively.” Americans tired of endless talk and weak diplomacy should welcome a policy that finally backs words with force and clarity.
Over the opening days of Operation Epic Fury, U.S. and allied forces struck the regime’s military and nuclear infrastructure with overwhelming precision, hitting an extraordinary number of targets to degrade Iran’s ability to project terror. This is not reckless adventurism; it is a concentrated campaign to remove the tools Tehran has used for decades to menace our allies and American interests.
CENTCOM’s operational briefings make clear this was a carefully planned, multi-domain operation involving air, sea, and electronic warfare assets designed to dismantle command nodes and missile arsenals without inviting a wider regional conflagration. That kind of surgical, intelligence-driven pressure is exactly what conservative foreign policy demanded for years — force with purpose, layered with the will to follow through.
Yes, war costs lives, and American blood has been shed — three service members were reported killed and several wounded in the opening phases — which only underscores why deterrence and decisive action matter so much. The tragedy of those losses demands our full support for the troops and a rejection of the partisan theater that tries to weaponize pain for political points.
The White House framed the operation as a mission to crush the regime’s capability and restore safety to the region, and patriots should be proud of leadership that finally matches rhetoric with results. For years establishment appeasers handed Iran breathing room; now, under pressure, the regime is being forced to pay for its decades of aggression.
Democrats and their media allies will predictably wring their hands and second-guess every move while Iran’s proxies cheer on chaos, but the choice was never between perfection and action — it was between continued emboldenment of a genocidal regime or decisive American strength. If conservatives care about peace, liberty, and the safety of our children, we back the commander-in-chief who restores American deterrence and gives our brave servicemembers the tools they need to finish the job.
