Iran: Scalpel and Hammer
With brilliant intelligence and close U.S. and Israeli cooperation and coordination, Operation Epic Fury is systematically dismantling the terrorist regime of Iran’s ayatollahs.

With brilliant intelligence and close U.S. and Israeli cooperation and coordination, Operation Epic Fury is systematically dismantling the terrorist regime of Iran’s ayatollahs. And as if in a game of chess, the war has reshaped the Middle East, (a consistent source of hostilities), into a more peaceful and orderly part of the world. It has also demolished fears of Russian and Chinese intervention on behalf of the regime. (Russia’s too broke and China’s grasp is less than its reach.) Indeed China, which depended on Iran and Venezuelan oil, is unlikely to make good for a while if ever on its threats to occupy Taiwan.
A quick reminder of Iran’s anti-U.S. aggression in recent decades: It took over our embassy and held 52 Americans there hostage for over a year; it bombed the Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 241 American troops, its IEDs killed 603 and maimed hundreds more American service members in Iraq, it supplied its terrorist proxies who attack U.S. forces and shipping, it brutally tortured CIA’s Bill Buckley for 15 months, filming his agonies and sending the film to us.
Saggezza Eterna accurately describes our weak responses to these aggressions:
For years, the Democratic establishment operated on a delusional premise that a rogue regime could be bribed into morality. They sent pallets of cash to a state that burns the American flag, yet they express feigned shock when that same regime funds the slaughter of innocents across the globe. Under President Trump, that charade is finished. This joint operation with Israel is the definitive restoration of American deterrence. It is a calculated, surgical decapitation of a nuclear threat that the Left was content to manage with useless sunset clauses. The left-wing intelligentsia, those academic idealists with no skin in the game, spent a decade arguing for "strategic patience." In reality, they were subsidizing our own destruction. By neutralizing Iran’s nuclear ambitions now, we prevent a catastrophic escalation that would have cost millions of lives and trillions of dollars. This is the definition of fiscal responsibility: preventing a global conflagration through early, decisive intervention.The operation, dubbed Epic Fury, targets the Iranian Parliament, the National Supreme Council, the Ministry of Intelligence, and the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency. It is marked from the very beginning with incredible intelligence, meticulous preparation, and the patience to wait until everything was in place for rapid success.
