I expected my president to act on the ongoing threats by Iran against Israel – and, for that matter, the world – and boy, did he come through.
Donald Trump once again reminded us why he remains a defiant president. Along with engaging in a war right here in the United States against illegal immigrant criminals that pose a dangerous threat to citizens, he just made a critical call that put Iran in its place.
On Saturday, American warplanes and submarines successfully carried out an attack on three nuclear facilities in Iran – Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. This comes after months of conflict with Israel, which has resulted in thousands of deaths and the suffering of so many others along the Gaza Strip.
Trump had been mulling the decision to intervene, but it was Iran’s recent threats against the country that became a cause for concern. Particularly with the promise of “everlasting consequences.” Considering Trump isn’t the type to take these threats so easily, he finally decided to act. And how.
Following the strike Saturday evening, Trump spoke on the attack, calling it a “spectacular military success,” even though the fight is far from over.
“There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days,” Trump noted during the address. “Remember, there are many targets left.”
Still, the fact that the attack has left these facilities “complete and totally obliterated” without any sort of fallout effect is remarkable. His military attacked with a great deal of precision and care, making sure that the threat was taken out of the picture so that Iran couldn’t come through on its “everlasting consequences.” Bravo to that.
Of course, the attack has left mixed opinions. Many believe that there’s “no turning back” at this point in the war. And some have even taken their opinion to extreme levels.
Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez recently made a post on X believing that the move was enough to – get this – force an impeachment on Trump.
“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers,” she noted. “He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
“It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
Leave it to Democrats to try and blow smoke over a situation like this so that people don’t see the clearer picture.
Let me make it clear here. Iran was in a threatening state. They were not only threatening to obliterate everything in Israel, but also everything with their allies – including the United States. It had gotten to the point that they were actually considering nuclear options. It was that bad.
What did you expect Trump to do? Twiddle his thumbs and insist everything would be fine, like previous President Joe Biden would’ve done? No.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said it best on Sunday morning during a military address. “It was an incredible and overwhelming success,” he noted. “The order we received from our commander in chief was focused. It was powerful, and it was clear we devastated the Iranian nuclear program. But it’s worth noting the operation did not target Iranian troops or the Iranian people for the entirety of his time in office.”
Bingo. Take out the threat while, at the same time, looking out for what’s important. That doesn’t sound like an impeachable offense to me in the least. It sounds like a president doing his damn job and a fine job at that.
Obviously, the fight isn’t over, and the U.S. will no doubt work alongside Israel to see what’s coming next. But this is a message that echoes loud and clear – Trump isn’t messing around.
He may have dwelled on the decision for a little bit but was all the better for it. And now Iran – and for that matter, the world – now knows exactly what he’s capable of. The Democrats can complain until they’re blue in the face, but they’re probably just jealous that they didn’t get an opportunity to act.
Iran tried to talk us down, and it didn’t work. Now the real effort begins to quell the threat and bring – dare I say it – actual peace to this country.
Let’s get to work!
