The early-morning strikes carried out by the United States alongside Israel against sites inside Iran mark a dramatic escalation in a long-simmering threat that Tehran refused to rein in. Reports say strikes hit Tehran and other strategic locations believed tied to Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, a decisive move that many Americans have long demanded.
Officials on the ground and open-source reporting have begun piecing together the initial targets — key military and leadership hubs across multiple cities — signaling this was not a limited raid but a coordinated campaign to cripple Iran’s ability to project power. For years the regime perfected denial and obfuscation; these strikes appear aimed at stripping away Iran’s capacity to threaten the region and American interests.
Even Fox News’ own national security correspondent warned plainly that U.S. casualties are possible because this mission is different and broader than past operations, underscoring that the risks to American service members are real and foreseeable. Jennifer Griffin’s blunt assessment should silence anyone who pretends force can be used without cost; our troops and commanders know what’s at stake.
Tehran’s immediate threats and retaliatory missile and drone salvos toward U.S. bases and allied areas make clear that the regime was never interested in restraint — it was interested in domination. Regional reporting shows the Iranian leadership has openly vowed crushing responses and has moved to leverage proxies and missile arsenals, which proves critics who warned of inaction were right all along.
This is what decisive American power looks like when applied correctly: partners coordinated, targets chosen to degrade hostile capability, and a public left no illusions about the stakes. Let there be no confusion — those who have spent years accusing the U.S. of “overreach” must answer for failing to stop Tehran’s march toward a nuclear-armed hegemon; firmness now may spare far greater bloodshed later.
Patriots should support our men and women in uniform as they carry out a dangerous, necessary mission, while demanding accountability from any politician or analyst who cheered appeasement or dithering. Congress and the American people must back a strategy that protects American lives, secures the homeland, and holds Tehran to account for decades of malign behavior.
In the end, this moment asks a simple question of our country: will we protect freedom and our allies, or will we let tyrants redraw the map through intimidation and terror? Hard choices and sacrifices lie ahead, but a free America that stands firm against evil is the surest way to honor the blood of those who serve and to secure peace for future generations.
