America’s recent decision, alongside Israel, to strike hardened Iranian military targets under the banner of Operation Epic Fury is exactly the kind of decisive action this country deserves after years of feckless weakness. For too long America’s enemies have been emboldened by our hesitation; finally a president took the necessary step to degrade an existential threat and show strength where talk and sanctions failed.
President Trump’s administration has framed the operation as a calibrated campaign to dismantle Iran’s military infrastructure, and conservative voices rightly celebrate the clarity of purpose that has been absent from Washington for years. Americans weary of endless handwringing want leadership that protects our people and allies, not endless moralizing that lets tyrants rebuild their arsenals.
On Fox, commentators like Ben Shapiro — joined by Lara Trump — called the policy a game changer and excoriated Democrats for reflexively politicizing national security instead of standing with the commander-in-chief when our military acts to protect American lives. It is shameful but predictable that the left’s first instinct is to score political points rather than to support strength and clarity in the face of real danger.
Meanwhile, congressional Democrats rushed to weaponize war powers and bicker about process while Iran and its proxies remain a clear danger, proving once again that procedural purity often masks cowardice. Patriots know that debates over oversight are legitimate, but public displays of grandstanding on daytime television while our troops and allies face threats amount to putting politics over security.
Worryingly, this conflict has also unleashed a predictable spike in antisemitic rhetoric and propaganda, showing how domestic hatred grows in the wake of foreign policy crises; conservative leaders must denounce that poison loudly and clearly. The media and tech platforms have seen disinformation campaigns and ugly conspiracies proliferate, and quiet complicity from the left only enables the worst impulses in our society.
Hardworking Americans deserve leaders who prioritize strength, unity, and the safety of our people and allies over partisan theater. If this administration continues to crush the networks and safe havens of regimes that sponsor terror, conservatives should rally behind bold policy and demand accountability from those who prefer virtue-signaling to victory.
