Iran war Operation Epic Fury defended as America First policy strategy

Operation Epic Fury has created a legion of critics across the political spectrum, including within the MAGA movement. They say it betrays President Donald Trump’s pledge to put America first and risks dragging the United States into a larger regional war. They argue that what is happening in the Middle East does not matter to Americans and distracts from economic, security and cultural issues at home. They are wrong.

President Trump’s war against Iran It is, in essence, America first. It aims to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

The Trump administration has repeatedly stated that the United States has three goals regarding the Iranian regime: stopping its nuclear weapons program, stopping its missile program, and stopping its support for terrorist proxies. This is what the Vitkov-Kushner negotiations were about. This is what drives Operation Epic Fury. The most dangerous regime in the world should not be allowed to possess the most dangerous weapons in the world.

The war with Iran is not primarily aimed at liberating the Iranian people from a brutal dictatorship or forcing regime change. These may be noble goals, but they are not necessary for American national security.

What constitutes an existential threat to the United States is Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. A nuclear Iran would use the threat of nuclear weapons to blackmail the United States into doing its bidding. A nuclear Iran would ignite a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. The Iranian regime’s love affair with martyrdom may lead it to launch those nuclear weapons against the United States and its allies.

Preventing Iran from developing nuclear-tipped intercontinental missiles capable of hitting the United States is America First.

These are direct threats to the very existence of the United States. If we fail to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons program now, it is not a question of whether Iran will “go nuclear” or not; It’s only a matter of time. Iran has made its intentions clear: it will never negotiate to give up its nuclear program. If the United States bombs its development sites, Iran will rebuild all over again — and again.

Critics are quick to point out the risks involved in Operation Epic Fury; There are always risks in war. But there are also risks in not taking any action to stop Iran, and the resulting existential consequences for America.

The time to act is now, before Iran gets nuclear weapons. Thanks to President Trump’s precise and systematic steps to weaken Iran militarily, economically, and diplomatically, the Iranian regime is now at its weakest point in history.

A good leader deals with crises as they arise. A wise leader prevents them. War with Iran is a risk, but it is a calculated risk worth taking. Success will not come without sacrifices, but it will ensure America’s security and prosperity for an entire generation.

Block Iran Developing nuclear-tipped intercontinental missiles capable of hitting the United States is an America first.

Operation Epic Fury is also MAGA compatible. It will ensure our prosperity, not only for today but for the future. It is the latest part of a strategy that is solidifying American dominance over global energy supplies.

Iran nuclear talks “didn’t pass the smell test” before Trump struck, Vance says

Since the dawn of the industrial age more than 200 years ago, energy has been a major driver of industrialization and technological progress. Countries with access to coal, oil and natural gas became rich.

Energy will be a greater factor in the coming information age. Global energy demand is growing rapidly to power the computers needed for artificial intelligence.

Trump understands this. The country that Leads in the field of artificial intelligence He will lead the world.

Behind the Iran deal: Why Trump’s refusal to ‘leave the box’ saved generations?

He deregulated the American oil and gas industries. The United States is now in control of rebuilding Venezuela’s energy industry. It has a great influence on its allies from the energy-rich Arab Gulf states. Iran will be the final piece of the puzzle, if the United States can help develop its oil resources.

Chinese President Xi Jinping Understands this too.

China is one of the most energy-dependent countries in the world. It does not have significant domestic reserves of oil or natural gas. Xi has worked for years to ensure China has access to cheap oil and natural gas. China has bought much of its oil at deep discounts from three sanctioned countries – Russia, Venezuela and Iran. This has been crucial to China’s industrialization success, and will be essential to achieving its technological dominance in the information age.

if China is no longer If it gains access to Venezuelan and Iranian oil at a discount, it will be at a severe disadvantage in the coming years. Even if it imports all of Russia’s energy capacity at a discount, it will still be forced to buy oil and gas at market prices to compensate for the loss. As President Trump said after Maduro’s ouster, if China wanted to buy oil, it could buy it from America at market prices.
