Hugh Hewitt and Pete Peterson on Why Orange County Flipped Blue

As we watch the fall of Iran’s hardline Islamist regime, nothing has been more moving than the palpable, heartfelt joy of the country’s women.

They’re dancing in public. Singing. Throwing off the hijabs that have been forced on them for decades by a theocratic dictatorship.

America acted to protect our own citizens and interests. But it’s also glorious to witness the unfolding liberation of a people who’ve endured such systematic humiliation and repression.

Self-described American feminists should look deep into their own souls. For years, they’ve invoked “The Handmaids Tale.” Yet when confronted with real women living under genuine, brutal subjugation, they’re silent, or even—like Kamala Harris—opposed to the action that is freeing them. 

That’s not solidarity. It’s selective outrage. May the women of Iran women secure the freedom so long denied them.

Carol Platt Liebau: Feminist Hypocrisy on Iran

The world order can be reshaped in just a matter of hours—or even just minutes.

Just as Iranians were starting their new work week on Saturday, leaders in Israel and the United States launched an attack. By the end of the day, the second supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei was dead.

For more than four decades Iran has been the main source of state-sponsored terror. It also sought to attain nuclear weapons.

President Trump ordered direct bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites just last year, but the regime resisted any agreement that would prevent the development of weapons grade materials. By Saturday the gig was up. Israel was not going to stand by as Iran gained nuclear capacity, and neither was the United States.

President Trump has called to the people of Iran to seize political control, but the future is by no means clear.

Pray that the right leadership emerges to point the Iranian people through the right door.

As President Trump said on Saturday to the Iranian people: “This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass.”

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.
