The world is watching an epic struggle in Iran. As brave protesters fill the streets, the Iranian regime responds with brutality and violence. Hundreds are dead, and thousands more are imprisoned. Can we stand idly by while tyranny crushes the voices of freedom? President Trump is weighing military options, embodying America’s role as a beacon of liberty against the oppressive Islamist regime.
Unlike his weak-kneed predecessors, Trump understands the vital importance of standing with those yearning for freedom. The Obama administration infamously ignored Iran’s cries for help, choosing to appease the regime. But this president knows that silence in the face of evil only emboldens dictators. His message is clear: America stands strong, ready to support those fighting for their lives and their futures.

Liberal critics, of course, will clutch their pearls and cry out against intervention. They’ll focus on their misguided narrative of American imperialism rather than recognize the just cause unfolding before us. It’s a cycle we’re all too familiar with—the same weak foreign policy that has left the world less secure. Yet, they are silent when the cries and tears come from people under the boot of a regime that shouts “Death to America” at every opportunity.
This isn’t just about Iran. It’s about sending a message to all despotic regimes that think they can act with impunity. With threats aimed at the U.S. and its allies, Iran tests our resolve while resorting to violence. The stakes have become global, and everyone knows it.
America’s resolve must be as unyielding as our commitment to freedom. Our adversaries believe they can intimidate us into submission. But in truth, they fear a united resolve. The time for action is now, confirming that freedom’s torch will never be extinguished. Will the West finally cast aside failed policies and recognize that this is a moment for decisive action?
