On Christmas Day, December 25, 2025, President Donald Trump ordered precision strikes against Islamic State militants operating in northwest Nigeria, targeting camps in Sokoto State in coordination with U.S. forces. The operation, launched from a U.S. Navy platform and described as surgically executed, was a clear and forceful response to the growing threat posed by jihadi groups in the region.
Conservative Americans should be proud that a president finally acted when Christians were being slaughtered and communities were being terrorized; Trump made it plain he would not tolerate religious persecution on his watch. For too long the elites offered platitudes while persecuted believers begged for protection, and this administration answered with action instead of lectures.
Nigeria’s foreign minister publicly confirmed that Abuja provided intelligence and gave the go-ahead for the strikes, underscoring that this was a coordinated effort rather than a reckless unilateral stunt. That kind of partnership matters — it shows that American muscle, when applied responsibly, can enable local governments to reclaim territory and save innocent lives.
Of course the left-wing press and hand-wringing diplomats will lecture about nuance and “complexity,” insisting the violence is not solely religious. They ignore the blood on the ground and the tangible fear of Christians who have faced massacres and terror for years; defending persecuted people is not partisan, it is moral.
This strike sent a clear message to Islamist terrorists everywhere that America will protect the persecuted and will not look away when Christians are targeted for extinction. Instead of apologies and withdrawal, we are seeing decisive action — and conservatives who value faith, family, and freedom should stand with it.
If Nigeria’s government and regional partners remain committed, more targeted actions may follow, and Americans should demand that our commanders use every tool to dismantle Islamist networks threatening innocents. The choice is simple: stand with the persecuted and defend religious liberty, or let the permissive international consensus of the past continue to cost lives.
