Richard Grenell, President Trump’s special missions envoy, made no small claims when he told Rob Schmitt the country is watching a decisive moment in the Middle East — and that the president remains, in practice, a man of his word. Grenell’s appearance on Rob Schmitt Tonight underscored a simple conservative truth: credibility matters in diplomacy, and America must be led by strength, not timidity.
Reports that U.S. forces have been repositioned in the region are not the panicked retreat the left wants you to believe but a sober, strategic move to protect our troops while signaling resolve to Tehran. Senior military leaders say the buildup in the Gulf forced Iran to “step back and recalibrate,” proving that visible American readiness deters bad actors and prevents wider war.
When the president warned that the U.S. would act if necessary, that was not empty bluster — it was a promise backed by action, including targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear sites that the administration called a major blow to Tehran’s enrichment program. Those strikes were framed by the White House and international reporting as precise, calibrated measures intended to eliminate an existential threat and create leverage for peace.
Grenell’s message — “this is the moment” — should ring true to every American who remembers the consequences of weakness. Leadership that mixes tough diplomacy with the credible option of force is the only language tyrants understand, and the president’s willingness to use America’s unrivaled military tools has already forced adversaries to pause and reassess.
Patriots should applaud a president who delivers on promises to keep the homeland safe and to prevent a nuclear-armed theocracy from imperiling our allies and our children. The White House’s insistence on “peace through strength” is not warmongering; it is the only realistic strategy to preserve liberty and stability in a dangerous neighborhood.
Let the pundits and the politicians who always preach appeasement complain — ordinary Americans know when their leaders stand firm. Now is not the time for second-guessing or moral equivocation; it’s the time to back our commander in chief, support our service members who are being prudently repositioned, and hold the line against a regime that funds terror and seeks nukes.
