The strategy employed by the U.S. against the Iranian regime should be pretty clear by now except to some critics of President Trump who are getting close to stage 3 TDS. The strategy, as I have said many times, is to use our military to cut the Iranian regime off from the one thing they need the most…money…while systematically eliminating remaining targets that threaten not only our military, but Iran’s Arab State neighbors, shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, and potential ground operations that may well be coming soon against the IRGC.

Evidence that the strategy is working can easily be found if one pays attention to reports, not only from our military, CENTCOM or our media, but also from more unlikely sources like Iran itself.

Sure, there are those who are fit to be tied over pauses in the action, and over “negotiating” with the enemy, but I believe that those who have adopted the talking points of the IRGC, in that “The U.S. is losing the war,” or that “Trump is a fool and doesn’t know what he’s doing,” would rather continue to virtue-signal their own personal armchair quarterback belief that they could do better if they, not President Trump were running the show.

As for the most recent “pause” for so-called “negotiations,” just over a week ago, it wasn’t President Trump, nor was it Steve Witkoff or Jared Kushner who suggested it, rather it was Admiral Bradley Cooper, Commander of the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) who advised it and for a very interesting reason…the U.S. military had run out of targets related to the Strait of Hormuz. This isn’t to suggest that Iran has nothing remaining with which to threaten shipping, just that the IRGC hasn’t exposed any of what they may have left or where they’ve been hiding it for about a week.

Political analysts, think-tank sorts, some religious and/or theocratic scholars, and various other critics have been quick to argue that President Trump is “mismanaging the war” because he simply “does not understand radical Islam or the Iranian regime’s death-cult mindset.” Some on the right side of the aisle also claim that “Trump is losing the war.” Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I believe our president has a much better understanding of the radical Islamic mindset than do some of his critics, I believe he has a much deeper understanding of the broader Middle East mindset than his critics claim he has, and I know that there is no easy way to fight ANY war, especially one with so many moving pieces as this one.

While President Trump’s primary stated purpose for this war is to prevent Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon, we all know that the only way to ensure that is to create regime change in Iran. Here’s the problem with the U.S. engineering regime change – we have a terrible success rate in doing that. Viet Nam, Korea, and several recent attempts in the Middle East…including in Iran in 1979 leap to mind. But that’s not the only issue we face. Go too fast and you create a vacuum of power. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, don’t want to do that again.

Go too slow, you wind up as a tourist in Hanoi pretending it was an adventure on your bucket list for decades.

The Clock is Ticking…What Comes Next?

Op-ed / Commentary By: Craig Andresen and Diane Sori / Right Side Patriots 

On February 28th, 2026, President Donald Trump began what no U.S. President had the courage to do over the past 47 years – he began military action against the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, Iran. In concert with Israel, over the past two months, the radical Islamic regime’s military assets have been pounded into the dirt, pounded to the bottom of the sea, and eliminated from the air. The ranks of the regime’s leadership have been decimated, and their ability to continue striking Israel, their neighbors and U.S. forces has been severely weakened, but not completely eliminated.

Likewise, the Iranian regime’s ability to rearm, resupply and finance their proxy armies has also been severely damaged, but not completely eliminated, and the regime’s hold over the Strait of Hormuz,  which they rely upon for shipping oil, their primary source of income has slipped away and is now all but controlled by the U.S. and a naval blockade.

But this war is not over. Unless and until whatever remains of the Iranian regime has been driven out…out of power, out of Iran and/or permanently eliminated, the threat to Israel, the Middle East, Europe and indeed to the United States still exists.

Here is the problem – The War Powers Resolution.

Enough Was Enough

Just over a week ago, President Trump did what no other president has done in the past 47 years…he sent the U.S. military to put an end to the tyrannical, radical and murderous regime in Iran.

Enough was more than enough.

For the past 47 years, no U.S. president has done much more than threaten Iran, give them a stern talking to, maybe slapped a few sanctions on them here or there and only on very sparse occasions have they sent the military to give what has amounted to little more than a spanking.

Obama sent them a plane full of cash and agreed to allow Iran to pursue a nuclear weapons program.

Iran has been at war with the United States for the past 47 years. They have chanted “DEATH TO AMERICA,” and “DEATH TO ISREAL,” for the past 47 years. Iran has attacked Americans and American military personnel, killing more than 1,000 Americans and severely injuring thousands more for the past 47 years. They have threatened and destabilized the entire Middle East, become the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, built proxy armies to do their dirty work for them and attacked, murdered and maimed our allies for the past 47 years.

Why Soleimani Had To Die

Nancy Pelosi has a brand new catch phrase that she’s been stammering and slurring at every opportunity. “He’ll be impeached forever.”

At best, it’s a rhetorical catch phrase, and to be completely honest, it’s a meaningless slogan. President Trump’s accomplishments will far and away overshadow the coup attempts. He’s set our economy on the path to greatness, he’s reset our position to the front and center of the world stage, he’s taken on the worst trade agreements in history and reversed the playing field to our advantage, he’s cut burdensome regulations, and he has stuck it to the United Nations of thugs, thieves and despots, while pushing NATO allies to do their fair share.

Those are the things that will be reflected favorably by history, but impeachment? That will go down in history as quite possibly the dumbest thing a political party has ever engaged in.

Pelosi knows impeachment is drawing its last gasps, and that her engineered and manufactured failed impeachment coup attempt will be her legacy, and hence the desperate slogan or catch phrase, as she, and her party of wadded panties now prepare to move to the next manufactured attempted coup…
