If you listen to whiny Democrats, the joint U.S.-Israel attack on Iran failed its objectives. Let’s look at the facts and see how they contradict another false Liberal narrative.
The U.S. and Israel have complete control of the Iranian airspace while suffering limited casualties. The regime’s air defense systems, supplied by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, are largely destroyed. We are now methodically demolishing Iran’s military infrastructure, control headquarters, manufacturing plants, and, almost surely, the cleric’s nuclear program. There is no real military hierarchy in Iran. Indeed, the Iranian air force and navy no longer functionally exist.
The U.S. has already stopped the clerics from obtaining a “fearsome arsenal of ballistic missiles” and reaching a line of immunity that would have made conflict far more deadly. In 2024, the regime launched 200 ballistic missiles at Israel. Today, it fires one or two at a time. And the attacks decrease every day. The Iranians are now relying on low-cost drones.
Neither Russia nor China, has come to the aid of the Iranian mullahs.
The entire leadership of the regime was decapitated in the first minutes of the conflict. A pinpoint obliteration of an enemy’s top brass is unprecedented in modern war.
Reuters wants us to believe that the U.S. military thinks, “Iran’s leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of imminent collapse.” Largely intact? Except, I guess, for the supreme leader, Ali Khamenei; Aziz Nasirzadeh, the minister of defense; Mohammad Pakpour, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps; Ali Shamkhani, the head of the Supreme National Security Council; Mohammad Shirazi, the chief of the military bureau … and, well, you get the idea. Over 60, and counting, of the top regime leaders are buried under rubble.
One of the pressing issues is that the Islamic Republic has now reportedly closed the Strait of Hormuz, where 20% of the world’s oil flows each day. CNN reports that the Trump administration “did not plan for the possibility of Iran closing the strait in response to strikes.” This claim, almost surely leaked to the stenographers at the network by Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee, flies in the face of credulity. The Pentagon has been dealing with threats to strait for over 40 years. But if you’re really worried about the Strait of Hormuz, just imagine what the regime could do to world oil supplies if it were allowed to have a nuclear weapon or Chinese Communist Party supersonic anti-ship missiles. The objective of the assault was to stop that from happening.
What are we doing about the enriched uranium that the regime admitted could potentially make 11 nuclear weapons? Can we spark an internal regime change? A change in leadership would be the best-case scenario, but certainly not necessary for victory.
Will they be more dangerous than the government that funded murderous proxy armies across the Middle East? Or the one that murdëred tens of thousands of its own peaceful protesters over a few days’ time? Will they be more incentivized than the mullahs who built cement-reinforced nuclear facilities 300 feet under granite mountains? It’s doubtful. But if that’s the case, we’ll have to face them again in the future.
There’s no panacea. But Operation Epic Fury, at the very least, ensures that the Iranian regime is now weaker in every way imaginable.

Israel’s killing of Iranian security chief Ali Larijani removes a veteran leader in Tehran, shaking a regime that had appeared to be weathering thousands of airstrikes with its grip on the country and war-fighting capability intact.
It was accompanied by a successful Israeli attack on Gholamreza Soleimani, the head of the country’s repressive Basij militia the same day, a double blow that analysts said could further complicate the regime’s ability to run the war effort and maintain control, even though it isn’t likely to bring it down.

Iran’s ability to attack vessels on the strait had been degraded, as 5,000-pound (2,270-kilogram) bombs were dropped earlier in the week on an underground facility along Iran’s coast used to store anti-ship cruise missiles and mobile missile launchers.

When you look at what has actually happened to Iran’s principal instruments of power – its ballistic missile arsenal, its nuclear infrastructure, its air [defenses], its navy and its proxy command architecture – the picture is not one of US failure. It is one of systematic, phased degradation of a threat that previous administrations allowed to grow for four decades,” wrote Muhanad Seloom, an assistant professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies.
Democrats are clearly hoping America will fail. Have Democrats convinced you Iran is winning against America? Are you sure your values still align with their political agenda?
