On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel carried out coordinated strikes on targets inside Iran, including strikes reported in Tehran that sent explosions rippling across the capital. This decisive action follows months of clear and escalating threats from Tehran, and it is about time our leaders stopped talking and started acting to protect American lives and allies. The American people want strength, not endless negotiations that reward bad actors.
Israeli officials called the operation a preemptive move designed to remove immediate threats, and reports indicate strikes in multiple Iranian cities and near the offices long associated with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. U.S. officials confirmed American participation, describing the effort as more than a symbolic strike and signaling long-overdue resolve. For years Iran has enriched uranium, sponsored terror proxies, and built missiles pointed at our partners; striking their infrastructure was a necessary step to blunt that menacing posture.
This escalation did not come from nowhere — Washington had amassed forces in the region as diplomatic pressure failed to force meaningful concessions, and President Trump publicly warned Tehran that the United States would not accept a nuclear-armed Iran. Americans should be grateful their government finally matched rhetoric with action instead of appeasement. Cowardice and endless talks only embolden tyrants; firmness preserves peace and keeps the risk off our shores.
Israel immediately closed its airspace and declared emergency preparations as Iran shut down parts of its own airspace and telecommunications, a chaotic picture that proves the regime’s grip is weakening even as it lashes out. Casualty counts and the full scope of damage remain unclear in the first hours, but the aim was surgical: to degrade Iran’s capacity to threaten the region and to the extent possible avoid civilian slaughter. The international community can wring hands or cheerlead, but the priority must be protecting American lives and our allies’ survival.
Let’s be blunt: those on the left who spent years lecturing America on restraint and appeasement are exposed by events like this. Their reflexive calls for immediate de-escalation often translate into surrender by another name, and the American people deserve leaders who will defend liberty and our friends without shame. If opponents want to criticize a strong response, they should explain what their alternative is when rogue states build weapons and fund terror.
Now is the moment for unity behind our servicemembers and for holding the line against a regime that openly plots our harm. Support for a clear strategy — decisive strikes paired with diplomatic pressure to force a real, verifiable end to Iran’s nuclear ambitions — is the responsible patriot’s position. Washington must stay vigilant, keep supply lines secure, and ensure this action degrades Tehran’s ability to threaten the world for years to come.
Hardworking Americans watching these events want results, not excuses; they want a government that protects them and stands with friends. This administration had a choice: bow to the status quo or act to prevent a greater war by confronting the source of the danger now. We should be proud our nation and its allies still have the courage to confront evil abroad rather than invite it home.
