President Trump Did What He Had to Do-He Took Out Iran's Nuclear Threat

President Trump Did What He Had to Do—He Took Out Iran’s Nuclear Threat Let me be absolutely clear: President Donald J. Trump did what any real Commander- in-Chief must do when faced with a direct threat to American security and the safety of our allies. He acted. And he acted decisively.

The strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities were not just a show of strength—they were a message. A message to Tehran, to their terrorist proxies, and to the world: The United States will not sit idly by while the world’s leading sponsor of terror races toward a nuclear bomb.

This wasn’t some endless war escalation—this was a surgical, strategic strike to obliterate the very core of Iran’s nuclear program. And according to President Trump, that’s exactly what happened: Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan—wiped off the map with “five to six” bunker-buster bombs. That’s called protecting American lives and interests.

That’s called leadership.

While the Biden-Obama foreign policy team was busy shipping pallets of cash to Tehran and turning a blind eye to their ambitions, President Trump made a promise to the American people: Iran will never get the bomb. This weekend, he kept that promise.

Our adversaries just got a wake-up call. And our allies—from Israel to every free nation that values peace—are sleeping a little easier tonight because of President Trump’s resolve.

So, I say this as loud and proud as I can: God bless our military. God bless President Trump. And may God forever bless the United States of America.
