On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes on key Iranian military and nuclear facilities in what the Pentagon called Operation Epic Fury, a sweeping action that has already begun to reshape the strategic map of the Middle East. The strikes were not impulsive—they were the result of months of planning and signal a decisive willingness to remove threats before they metastasize into something far worse for America and our allies.
Former Under Secretary of Defense Robert Wilkie told Newsmax that this operation was deliberately designed to be overwhelming and sustained, exactly the kind of campaign conservatives have long said is necessary to break a regime that openly sponsors terrorism and pursues nuclear weapons. Wilkie argued that a one-off strike would be meaningless and that what the United States has launched is intended to destroy Iran’s missile and command infrastructure and give the Iranian people a real chance at freedom.
Strategically, Wilkie and other sober voices are right to point out that striking Iran deals blows far beyond Tehran’s borders: it severs a key supply line for Russia’s war machine and constrains China’s access to destabilizing energy partnerships. Iran has been a conduit for missiles, drones, and regional proxy power, and by degrading those capabilities the United States strengthens Ukraine’s position and tightens the screws on regimes that choose to back aggression over stability.
Patriotic Americans should be unapologetic in celebrating clear, forceful action when it protects our national interests and those of our allies. For years, weak leadership abroad encouraged Tehran’s mischief; today’s operation demonstrates what happens when America reasserts its strength and refuses to negotiate from a posture of appeasement. President Trump’s framing of the mission as a decisive campaign to dismantle Tehran’s instruments of terror reflects the kind of strategic clarity this country desperately needed.
Make no mistake: this will be a hard, dangerous moment, and Iran’s predictable lashback—missile salvos, regional proxy attacks, and information warfare—must be met with the full weight of American resolve. Conservatives should demand that Congress fund our troops, back our commanders, and stand firm against any calls to fold in the face of threats; victory requires unity at home and unrelenting pressure abroad. If we maintain resolve, Operation Epic Fury will not only protect American lives but will tilt the global balance of power away from authoritarian predators and toward liberty.
