Americans evacuate from Middle East amid escalating conflict
War Secretary Pete Hegseth declared "America is winning" the war against Iran, saying the results in just four days of conflict have been "historic."

Hegseth says more fighters and bombers are arriving daily to the Middle East, adding that the U.S. and Israel wills soon achieve "complete control" over Iranian airspace. Iran's missile capabilities have been drastically diminished in the four days of fighting, and the nation's top leadership positions remain vacant, he said.

"America is winning decisively, devastatingly and without mercy," Hegseth said. "Only the United States of America could lead this. Only us. But when you add the Israeli Defense Forces, a devastatingly capable force, the combination is sheer destruction for our radical Islamist Iranian adversaries."

"They are toast, and they know it," he added. "The two most powerful air forces in the world will have complete control of Iranian skies. Uncontested airspace."

Airspace is fine, Mr. Hegseth. Kudos.

But... what about all that "space" on the ground...?

That 'land space' can be controlled from the skies .... it can be eviscerated at any time.

At some point in time, the Iranian people need to take control.  It is not our country nor is it the duty of the U.S. to run it's gov't.  Our duty was/is to protect Americans and America from an out of control regime that had us in their crosshairs and killed thousands of its own people who protested against it.
