Hugh Hewitt and Pete Peterson on Why Orange County Flipped Blue

As we watch the ongoing campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran, President Trump now faces a decision on when to end the battle.

A premature end will almost certainly lead to another war.

This regime refused to stop its nuclear program, its missile program its exported terrorism after President Trump ordered Qassem Soleimani killed in January 2020, and again after Operation Midnight Hammer in June of last year, when he obliterated the nuclear weapons program of the Islamic Republic.

Instead, the fanatics atop this barbarous regime began to rebuild their killing capabilities and displayed their true nature with the stunning massacre of more than 35,000 of their own citizens in January. The Islamic Republic regime is incapable of changing. The regime must be changed.

Persevere President Trump. Americans have been dying at the hands of this wicked regime since it came to power in 1979. More have died this week. Do not let this regime survive to kill again.

For 47 years, the radical Islamist terrorists running Iran have conducted multiple acts of war against the United States. The regime abducted our diplomats in 1979 and kept them hostage for 444 days. Their proxy terror network Hezbollah killed more than 240 Marines in Beirut, and kidnapped Americans throughout the 1980s. Iran and its Shi’ite militias targeted and killed hundreds of Americans in Iraq while wounding thousands more.

This weekend, Donald Trump finally addressed this long war by responding to it with overwhelming force.

Some Americans wonder how this fits with Trump’s “America First” strategy—claiming Trump has gone to war to protect Israel.

Make no mistake: This fits America First. It puts American interests ahead of European appeasers that spent decades restraining the US from a proper response to Iran’s acts of war. It will fully re-establish America as the first among nations—the superpower that, once again, does not fear to protect its interests.

New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani recently attended prayers at an Islamic Center with documented ties to the Alavi Foundation, which the Justice Department has identified as an Iranian front organization.

While the mayor was there, an imam prayed for the Mahdi—a Messianic figure in Islamic eschatology—to kill all “infidels.”

The Constitution protects the free exercise of religion. But that does not require political leaders to legitimize rhetoric that casts fellow Americans as enemies of God—that ought to be killed.

At other recent events in Times Square, Islamic speakers have declared it: “We are a threat”—referring to themselves. This isn’t pluralism. It’s provocation.

America welcomes those who come here legally to embrace our way of life. But hostility to our faith, our freedom, and our fellow citizens can’t be normalized.
