I’m not that surprised that President Trump attacked the Fordow site in Iran, along with two others, where the nuclear program was reported to be in the process of development. From what Trump knew, taking away any leverage of fear from a nuclear power development plan from the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world, and the Revolutionary Army of the current regime was on their heels, the timing was right. With this move, Trump can accomplish several essential things simultaneously. Given this air raid of Iran, it might look risky to be pulled into a prolonged war. But the reports told Trump what he needed to know in the wake of the conflict between Iran and Israel. Iran was out of missiles. They had been able to bomb Israeli cities like Tel Aviv and get through the Iron Dome defense network by overwhelming the system. But missiles cost money, and Obama isn’t around anymore to sneak money to the Iranian government to antagonize Western civilization, and the rockets ran dry. To make a show of continued force, Iran has still been launching missiles into Israel, but at a much reduced rate, leaving the Iron Dome to pick them off easily. Iran was in trouble. The Ayatollah was in hiding. Many of the senior revolutionary leadership were killed off or in disarray. So the time was ripe for a strike, and Trump did it. If he had resisted, he would have lost an opportunity. Iran was already falling, so it was a good time to send a message to the rest of the world, pass the Big Beautiful Bill, and crush the Russian resistance to end the Ukraine war. Cut the ties China has with Iran by taking them off the map. And pave the way for the people of Iran to take back their country and remove it from being a Marxist stronghold in the Middle East. With the bombing of those three sites, Trump was able to get a lot done, so the time to strike was open.
Trump could have crushed Iran just with his mouth, as he had been doing. However, an opening was obvious, and people often need to see decisive action. Moreover, nothing unites people more than military action. As controversial as it is, Trump needs the Big Beautiful Bill to pass the Senate because the tax cuts in it, if made permanent, are key features to the future of the American economy and the improvements we have been seeing in all our wallets. With the Fed resisting a lowering of interest rates, the tax cuts become even more critical. To unify everyone in passing the Bill for a very nice Fourth of July in 2025, destroying a long-known enemy of America was a smart move to drive resistance to the Bill to act quickly and decisively. For Trump, he will be remembered as the President who crushed Iran with a marvelous attack that was very successful. However, for the rest of the world, it was a significant statement and a display of military force. And it was just enough to get the war hawks on Capitol Hill engaged enough to cheerlead passage of Trump’s Bill, which will secure all his campaign promises. It will also add a lot of debt to an already escalating pile. But strategically speaking, this raid on Iran in the middle of the night was an all-in poker move, and Trump has been successful at those before. This is undoubtedly what I voted for, and so did many others. Likely, even people who didn’t want Trump are suddenly quite happy that he’s in the White House.
Regarding Article II powers, Trump is well within his rights as President to call such a strike. All this talk of impeachment by Democrats isn’t going to go anywhere. Ground troops were not involved, so that kept things straight legally on the side of Trump’s decisive action. For those who fear retaliation, and that, because of Trump’s actions, it puts everyone at risk, they have been deceived into believing that Iran was more powerful than it really was. The fear is that Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz, located between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. The simple answer is that ships traveling through the area can hug the coast of the United Arab Emirates and avoid Iranian patrols. However, in truth, Iran lacks the firepower to establish a blockade that would prevent ships from traveling through it. These are not the Obama days when ships could be stopped by Iranian patrols and harassed. The Iranians know that they can’t afford retaliation, so there isn’t any real way to provoke more trouble to pour on themselves. So, any fear of such a thing is misplaced in those who thought of Iran as more potent than it was. The media and their leftist partners in the world propped up Iran to be a bully so that Marxist ideology could thrive. And Trump just took that leverage away from the world with that one act. Ultimately, the fight was always between capitalism and various degrees of communism hidden behind religious fundamentalism, which is why Democrats are so unhappy with the attack because it exposes what they already know but were trying to hide from the world. Iran was a paper tiger of antagonism that was keeping the world in a terrible state. And that they used that leverage to spread big government socialism as a reaction to it. And now that paper tiger is gone.
When it’s said that nobody else in the world could have performed an attack like this, with B-2 Spirit stealth bombers dropping six GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrators, (bunker busters) that could destroy targets 300 feet underground, every country suddenly has to perk up differently when Trump picks up the phone, especially China, and Russia. And the European Union. And all the bill whipping that Trump will do in the last week before the Fourth of July to pass his bill and seal his campaign promises, which will fund a repayment of the debt incurred, and then some, will take on a whole new meaning. As China plans to replace the dollar as the world’s currency standard at the upcoming BRICS summit, set to take place on July 6, 2025, just a few weeks away, it will now have to reconsider all its thoughts. And in that vacuum of consideration, Trump’s economic plans will have a chance to take flight, and the world will be reeling from their commitments to global communism and socialism. And only capitalist governments will find success, with the United States pulling way out in front of everyone. And all the posturing of China to antagonize Taiwan are suddenly not very attractive when America can send bunker busters from halfway around the world and devastatingly cripple a target, essentially ending the life of a country in a few minutes, and still be home in time for dinner. No, this attack was about more than helping Israel. It was a final blow against communism, forcing the world to compete in ways they weren’t ready for. And it will be remembered as one of the most incredible achievements of any American president, not for the action itself, but for what came after.
