The United States and Israel have launched a coordinated campaign of strikes against Iranian ballistic missile launchers, a decisive move that finally answers years of provocations and mounting threats to American and Israeli security. This is not the timid, bureaucratic response we’ve seen from past administrations — it is bold, targeted action intended to degrade Tehran’s ability to strike our allies and project power across the region. Patriotic Americans should be relieved to see our military and partners act with clarity and purpose in defense of freedom and stability.
Reports indicate the strikes hit multiple military sites across Iran, including areas in Tehran near the offices long associated with the regime’s highest leadership, and installations tied to ballistic missile operations. Keeping the initiative and striking the infrastructure that enables long-range strikes was the responsible thing to do to protect innocent lives at home and abroad. The precision of the operation — and the willingness to target the real engines of Tehran’s aggression — sends a clear message to dictators who calculate strength by our hesitancy.
President Trump called the action “major combat operations,” framing the mission as necessary to eliminate imminent threats from Iran’s missile and nuclear ambitions and to create space for the Iranian people to seize their own destiny. Leadership like this — unapologetic, strategic, and willing to act — is the kind of American resolve that keeps tyrants off balance and our homeland safer. For too long the world watched Iran build deadly capacity while Western elites argued in favor of concessions and negotiations that produced nothing but emboldened aggression.
True to form, Tehran responded by launching missiles and drones toward Israel and against U.S. positions across the Gulf, underscoring precisely why the joint strikes were necessary in the first place. Iran’s predictable retaliatory tantrum proves the calculus: when a regime grows weaker at home and cornered abroad, it lashes out at its neighbors and American forces instead of taking responsibility. This escalation is dangerous, but it was foreseeable and avoidable only if the world had accepted perpetual Iranian expansionism.
The human cost of conflict is always tragic, with reports emerging of civilian casualties in Iran, including the horrifying claim of dozens of schoolchildren killed in the south — a reminder that Iran’s leaders hide among their people and use them as shields. No one celebrates the loss of innocent life, but the blame belongs with a regime that has spent decades exporting terror and building weapons rather than feeding its hungry or listening to the peaceful protesters in its streets. Americans who value human dignity should also demand that we remove the threats that make such tragedies inevitable.
Global reactions were mixed and predictable: Moscow condemned the strikes in stark terms while regional airspace was closed and allied facilities went on alert, reflecting the broader strategic churn set off by Iran’s aggression and our response. The hard truth is that there will always be critics ready to equate strength with provocation, but Russia’s posturing and international hand-wringing cannot obscure the fact that we face a regime dedicated to our destruction. Allies must be rallied, American forces must be supported, and diplomatic chaff should not distract from the mission of degrading Iran’s war-making capacity.
To conservatives and every patriot who loves liberty: this is a moment to stand with our servicemen and servicewomen, not to indulge the appeasers who would prefer weak words to decisive action. Congress should back the mission by ensuring our forces have the resources they need and by making clear that the United States will not allow terror-sponsoring states to develop the means to hit our cities and allies with impunity. Leadership demands resolve, and resolve protects generations of Americans yet to come.
Pray for the innocents caught up in this conflict, support the brave troops carrying out a difficult duty, and remember why America must lead when evil threatens to dominate. We are on the right side of history when we defend freedom, deter aggression, and refuse to let murderous regimes hold the world hostage.
