Staff ReportsThe bold and unapologetic strike on Iran’s nuclear ambitions by President Donald Trump is proof positive of America’s resolve to stand against tyrannical regimes. “Operation Midnight Hammer” has sent a clear message: the United States will do whatever it takes to dismantle threats hiding under the banner of peaceful enrichment while really tooling up for destruction. Of course, as always, Iran’s leadership is throwing a tantrum, threatening global oil stability by closing the Strait of Hormuz.
Tehran’s worn-out tactic of using the Strait of Hormuz as a bargaining chip is laughable. Let’s get real here: Iran has disrupted this passage before, and while it sounds menacing in the headlines, their real power to shut down such a critical artery of global trade is questionable at best. The real disruption? The hollow blustering of Iranian politicians scrambling to save face on the world stage.
Sure, the leftists and globalists are quick to drum up fear of potential consequences, waving their hands about the impact on Middle Eastern oil flow. But let’s be honest, America’s dependence on Middle Eastern oil is at all-time lows—hitting rock bottom last year. It’s other nations like China that are left sweating it out, and maybe that’s where the strategic advantage lies. If China wants to continue cozying up to the Iranian regime, they’ll have to grapple with the consequences of that allegiance.

Trump’s action marks just the beginning. The attack wasn’t just fireworks to entertain international spectators, it was a calculated assertion of leadership. And what other world leader is willing to act so decisively? While liberals keep nibbling on the edges, fretting over every little repercussion, strong leadership requires decisive action. And name a greater threat to the left than a President who doesn’t back down from conflict.
Iran can make all the threats they want, but at the end of the day, who really has the last laugh? The bold action of one American leader dismantling the nuclear dream of a rogue state—it’s not just about oil, it’s about global dominance and security. Take note, liberals: This is what having a backbone looks like. If not Trump, then who else can protect America from these international bullies?
