President Trump just pulled off one of the boldest military operations in years. He unleashed a precise strike that hammered Iran’s nuclear program and reminded the entire world why you don’t test American strength.

Unlike Biden, Trump isn’t playing games. Who can forget when Bumbling Joe issued this scary warning:

“Don’t.”

Don’t what? Eat yellow snow? Don’t take wooden nickels?

Needless to say, that so-called chilling warning came after his buddy Barry sent pallets of cash to Iran. And nobody thinks the Iranian Mullahs were feeding the homeless with billions in US dollars. So, like always, President Trump inherited a mess thanks to weak, failed Democrat foreign policy, and he made his move to clean it up.

The operation was codenamed “Midnight Hammer,” and it hit three key nuclear sites. Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, using a jaw-dropping (shock and awe) combination of stealth bombers, cruise missiles, and the US’s mother-of-all bombs: the bunker-busting MOPs. Fordo is buried under a mountain near Tehran, exactly the kind of secret facility Iran was counting on to inch closer to a nuclear weapon.

Well, not anymore, according to the US military.

BBC:

They were hit between 22:40 GMT and 23:05 GMT on Saturday (02:40-03:05 on Sunday Tehran time), the US said. US Gen Dan Caine, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, disclosed more details during a press conference.

He said: The aircraft took off from the US and made an 18-hour journey to Iran Some jets were sent west into the Pacific as a “decoy”, while others went ahead of the main bombers to ensure airspace was clear Seven B-2 stealth bombers tasked with hitting the nuclear sites flew into Iran and avoided detection At the same time, two dozen cruise missiles were launched at the Isfahan site from a submarine – in total, 75 “precision-guided weapons” were used during the operation.

Fourteen GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs) were dropped on the Fordo site, a nuclear enrichment facility buried deep below a mountain outside Tehran, which is vital to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Only the US operates these huge so-called bunker buster bombs, the sole weapons that could conceivably reach the concealed site.

The bombs weigh 13,000kg (30,000lb) and are able to penetrate 18m (60ft) of concrete or 61m (200ft) of earth before exploding.

After the strikes, Trump declared a clear win but warned there are “many targets left,” and that’s got a lot of people uneasy. Sure, stopping Iran from getting nukes is popular. But getting dragged into another forever war in the Middle East? Not so much. Especially for Trump’s base, who put him back in office as the “peace through strength” president, not a neocon or a regime-changer.

This is exactly where Steve Bannon steps in with a reality check. In his latest video, Bannon says Trump should absolutely be proud of the strike. He applauded Trump for his bold, surgical, and effective hit. Although Steve would like to see photographic proof, as would most Americans.

Bannon says if the rich exiled Iranian royals want regime change, they can fight for it themselves.

Watch:

Bannon believes America’s mission is done.

But Steve’s worried—as are many Americans. Sure, he praises President Trump and knows foreign policy is never just black and white, but he also knows exactly how this game gets played. He points out what’s likely coming next: the media is already laying the groundwork to claim they don’t know if all the nuclear material was destroyed, and President Trump himself said there were more targets. And Bannon says we all know what follows that line of thinking: boots on the ground. Bannon says it’s coming…

Watch:

Author and conservative pundit Jack Posobiec is sounding the exact same alarm. He says he fully trusts Trump that the strike obliterated the target, no question there. But the spin machine is already selling the next step: Just a few boots on the ground. Just a quick special ops raid. It’s the oldest upsell in the book and how they slowly drag America back into yet another sandpit nightmare we didn’t ask for and we don’t need.

Watch:

We keep hearing this isn’t a “regime change” war, and most people believe that. However, when President Trump starts tossing around the term “regime change,” it’s no surprise that Americans who’ve been burned by the neocons before start getting nervous.

Matt Gaetz breaks down how something like an airstrike can quickly snowball into much more… and yes, that includes regime change. We’ve seen this play out before. Does that mean the same will happen with President Trump? No. But it’s important to make sure he listens to his base.

Watch:

Because whether you support the strikes or a possible bigger scuffle with Iran or not, there’s no shortage of ranting and raving warmongers pushing for more. Mark Levin has been beating the war drums over on Fox News to the point of hysteria.

Now Mark’s demanding to know if Vice President JD Vance was “pushing back” against Israeli officials, like he’s got a personal axe to grind. But why shouldn’t Vance push back? We shouldn’t jump headfirst into something as massive as a potential war without asking tough questions and being extremely leery. Isn’t that what we expect from responsible leaders?

The fact that pushing back makes Mark Levin furious should have plenty of people questioning his motives.

Levin’s even ranting about “nuking up” Ukraine. That’s how out of control this man is getting.

The point is, both sides deserve to be heard. If Mark Levin can screech and rant for war, then others should be free to push an anti-war message, ideally in a much calmer, more rational way. Just because you don’t want another forever war or you question Trump’s tactics doesn’t make you a traitor who refuses to “trust the plan.” This is a deadly serious situation, and everybody should stay engaged. Sure, there’s no magic “trust the plan” pass. But there’s still something to be said for having faith in the guy who’s never dragged us into a war. But even so, the situation is messy.

Watch:

It’s necessary to speak up, ask hard questions, and hold everyone, Trump included, accountable for every move now and down the line. The real challenge is doing it with a clear head and as little doomsday panic as possible.
