American and Israeli forces struck hard at Iranian military sites and leadership in a coordinated operation this weekend, a direct response to years of Tehran’s aggression and clandestine weapons buildup, Fox News reported via Jennifer Griffin. The strikes were described on air as precise and aimed at degrading Iran’s capability to threaten the region and our allies. The message from our commanders was clear: we will not tolerate a regime that hides behind proxies while building up arsenals aimed at America and Israel.
This action followed open-source and intelligence reporting that Iran has been quietly restoring and expanding ballistic missile facilities—evidence that Tehran’s so-called restraint was a mirage. Satellite imagery and analysis published earlier this month showed repairs and regeneration at missile sites that had been damaged, undercutting the argument that diplomacy alone could blunt the threat. For patriots who demand realistic threat assessments, the intelligence picture was a clarion call to act before a worse attack.
Predictably, Tehran answered with threats and strikes aimed at American positions across the Middle East, launching missiles and drones at U.S. bases and promising more to come. Iran’s foreign ministry publicly vowed to target U.S. military facilities in the region, turning their reckless rhetoric into action and proving yet again that appeasement only invites aggression. Our servicemembers and bases are not abstract policy tools; they are hard targets for a hostile regime, and Americans deserve a government that defends them without apology.
Military planners warned for weeks that Iran’s missile reach encompasses key American hubs from Al Udeid in Qatar to the 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, forward bases in Kuwait and Saudi facilities used by our air forces. Those are not partisan talking points; they are sober operational realities that any responsible commander must consider when protecting troops and deterring future attacks. The region is crowded with targets Iran can reach, which is precisely why failing to dismantle their strike capability would have been irresponsible.
President Trump and his national security team framed the campaign as necessary to protect Americans and to dismantle weapons that threaten freedom-loving people across the region, labeling the effort Operation Epic Fury. This administration did what too many before it only talked about: it moved from words to action to keep America safe and to back our ally Israel when the threat became intolerable. For voters who value strength over lectures, that kind of leadership is long overdue.
Let there be no moral equivalence here: a tyrannical regime that targets civilians, sponsors terror, and rebuilds missile forces deserves to be met with force that stops the threat rather than preserves it. Our military displayed the professionalism and resolve that every American should be proud of, and conservatives must demand from Congress and the White House continued clarity of mission and robust support for the troops. Weak-kneed diplomacy mixed with naive trust in Tehran would have left our children and allies less safe; decisive action restores deterrence.
Now is the moment for the country’s patriots to stand united behind strength, not swerve into hollow isolationism or feigned neutrality that benefits our enemies. The political class that spent years apologizing for American power should remember who pays the bills when that power is squandered: our soldiers, our veterans, and ordinary families whose lives depend on a secure homeland. Defeating Iran’s ability to menace the region and preventing its proxies from sowing chaos is not arrogance; it is the sober duty of a free nation that refuses to be bullied.
