The Iranian regime is learning a brutal lesson about what happens when you threaten the United States under a president who actually means what he says. Six days into Operation Epic Fury, President Trump has achieved what decades of weak-kneed politicians only talked about: the complete military domination of America's most dangerous Middle Eastern adversary.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the stunning battlefield results in a briefing that should have every American patriot cheering: the U.S. military has establishedcomplete air superiorityover Iranian skies. More than 30 Iranian navy ships have been sent to the bottom of the Persian Gulf. Tehran's fleet has been officially deemed "combat ineffective." And their vaunted ballistic missile arsenal? Retaliatory strikes have plummeted by 90 percent in less than a week.
This is what peace through strength looks like, folks.
The mullahs in Tehran thought they could divide America's Gulf allies by attacking their neighbors—striking ports, oil facilities, even international airports. UN Ambassador Elise Stefanik revealed just how badly that strategy has failed.
While previous administrations sent pallets of cash to these terrorists and begged for negotiations, President Trump built a coalition that past presidents could only dream about. Our Gulf Arab partners are rallying behind American leadership because they finally see a commander-in-chief who keeps his promises.
The devastation extends far beyond Iranian borders. Exclusive footage aired by Harris Faulkner shows Beirut under siege as Israel, emboldened by American strength, continues pounding Hezbollah positions. Iran's terrorist proxy network is scrambling as their supply lines collapse along with Tehran's ability to project power.
The Pentagon is deploying advanced military technology never before seen in combat—including laser systems and jamming capabilities that neutralized a 2,000-drone swarm while saving American taxpayers billions. This is the most lethal fighting force in human history doing what it does best.
Let's be crystal clear about the stakes here. A nuclear-armed Iran would create a world where terrorists hold the ultimate weapon over civilization itself. For decades, the regime funded attacks that maimed and killed American servicemen and women while racing toward a nuclear bomb and lying about it to the world.
President Trump exhausted every diplomatic option. The Iranian regime rejected every opportunity for peace. Now they're feeling the sheer might of the United States Armed Forces.
Even as bombs fall on Iranian military installations, the Trump administration is thinking strategically. Senator Mark Wayne Mullin will replace Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary, while Noem transitions to State Department to oversee the new "Shield of America" initiative—a Western Hemisphere coalition targeting cartel trafficking operations.
