What Is The Plan?

On Friday, Fred Fleitz posted an article at American Greatness about President Trump’s goals in the Iran war.

The article includes Fred Fleitz’s background in national security:

Fred Fleitz previously served as National Security Council chief of staff, a CIA analyst, and a House Intelligence Committee staff member. He is the vice chair of the America First Policy Institute’s Center for American Security. He is the author of “North Korea, Nuclear Brinkmanship, and the Oval Office,” to be released by Texas A&M Press on April 7, 2026.

The article reports:

Somehow, I received an invitation to the White House to watch President Trump’s prime-time address to the nation on Wednesday evening, where he laid out his endgame strategy for the Iran War. In addition to observing the strong camaraderie between Trump’s cabinet members, I saw the president in great form, confidently articulating the war’s goals and achievements and how he is keeping his promise to the American people to end this conflict in a few weeks so it does not become a quagmire or an endless war.

The president spoke about the overwhelming strength of the American military and how the war is a decisive and historic U.S. victory. Just one month after launching Operation Epic Fury, Trump explained how the U.S. and Israel shattered Iran’s nuclear weapons program, crippled its war machine, and stripped the mullahs of their ability to bully the Middle East and the world.

President Trump spoke about how Operation Epic Fury devastated Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, ballistic missile programs, air defenses, navy, and command structure. Key nuclear facilities have been reduced to rubble. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ terror networks and proxy armies have been decimated. So has Iran’s ability to project power across the Middle East or threaten our allies with drones and missiles.

The article concludes:

Most importantly, President Trump stressed that the short-term economic costs of Operation Epic Fury are worth it because dealing with the global threat from Iran’s Islamist terrorist regime is an investment for our children’s and grandchildren’s future. So instead of kicking the Iran problem down the road to the next president, Trump is dealing with it now.

That’s the kind of decisive leadership America voted for.

When Someone Doesn’t Follow The Script

One of the rules for trial lawyers is never ask a question you don’t already know the answer to. Generally, the left-wing media also follows that rule, but sometimes they get answers they are not prepared for.

On March 6th, Townhall reported on one example of a very quick ‘cut to commercial’:

Kian Tajbakhsh appeared on CNN last night to discuss the Iranian operation. It wasn’t confrontational like Scott Jennings, Kevin O’Leary, or Ben Ferguson; he simply presented facts. He should know, as a former political prisoner. We discussed how liberals are trying to frame Operation Epic Fury as a new endless war, but it’s not new: Iran has considered itself at war with the United States since the Iranian Revolution. Tajbakhsh was present when officials stated this—we’ve been at war with the Islamic Republic since 1979.

This is the quote that caused a very quick cut to commercial:

TAJBAKHSH: “What happened with President Obama, I’ll just say this very quickly.”

“And I was in the State Department in the 2000s when we implored the Bush administration not to restrict the engagement with Iran simply to the nuclear file.”

“What happened with president Obama is that, for better or worse — and I’m not going to litigate that here — he decided that given the four big problems that have always been on American objectives with Iran, that is enrichment, ballistic missiles, proxies and democracy inside Iran, that he would put all the last three aside and focus only on the nuclear deal.”

“Now, I’m not going to say that was good or bad. I don’t think it was a great idea, but what we have seen and this is also maybe controversial and I think a lot of my liberal friends are going to hate me for this…”

“Is that unfortunately you can draw a straight line from the 2015 nuclear deal to October 7th.”

“I think that what the Trump administration is—”

PHILLIP: “We…we…we do have to go to a break here.”

TAJBAKHSH: “Okay.”

Thank you, President Trump, for putting an end to a terrorist state that unfortunately had the money to export its terrorism.
