The United States and Israel carried out a sweeping, coordinated strike on Iran on February 28, 2026, hitting leadership compounds and military installations in a decisive effort to dismantle a regime that for years has plotted our destruction. This was not a reckless lunge but the hard truth: when a hostile theocracy builds missiles and proxies and slaughters its own people, American power must be used to protect our citizens and allies. The results on the ground were dramatic and chaotic, with Israeli officials saying senior elements of Iran’s command structure were struck.
Fox News’ Trey Yingst was on the scene in Tel Aviv as sirens wailed and missiles crossed the sky, describing an “incredibly powerful explosion” and donning protective gear as the situation unfolded live. That vivid, on-the-ground reporting — American journalists standing beside Israeli defenders — showed ordinary patriots witnessing a regime finally being held to account for years of aggression. The raw images of air-raid sirens and impacts are a sober reminder that deterrence requires strength, not endless negotiation.
Israeli officials are reporting that the strikes hit meetings of high-level Iranian figures, and there are claims that scores of senior commanders and regime operatives were eliminated in the operation. While verification is still coming in and enemies always lie about their losses, the possibility that Iran’s top operational command was crippled should be welcomed by anyone who values American and Israeli security. Weakness invites aggression; action like this restores a measure of deterrence long absent from the region.
Predictably, Tehran lashed out in retaliation, launching missiles and drones into Israel and at U.S. positions across the Gulf, spreading the conflict but not deterring the coalition’s resolve. State media in Iran reported many killed in the strikes, and the region now faces an ugly, dangerous period where bad actors will try to exploit chaos — which is exactly why American leadership must remain clear, strong, and unwavering. Our troops and allies deserve a government that backs them with decisive power, not endless apologies.
To the critics who howl about escalation: this is the grim reality of confronting a regime that has long waged proxy wars, sponsored terrorism, and crushed its own people. President and Prime Minister coordinated a strike after exhausting other options, and the American public should stand with soldiers and allies who must now finish the job. Pray for a quick end to combat and for political leaders to follow through with the strength needed to secure victory and prevent another generation from living under the shadow of Tehran’s tyranny.
