As we watch President Trump and all that’s happening with Iran and Khomeini, I think the situation can be summed up succinctly:

One door is marked "Truman/Reagan" and the other door is marked "Carter/Obama/Biden."

On three different occasions, Trump has walked through the first door:
He ordered the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iran’s Quds Force in January of 2020 in Iraq.
Trump followed that up with his second-term order to conduct Operation Midnight Resolve against Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities in June last year.
And then we saw Operation Absolute Resolve to snatch Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro in January.

Now President Trump has to decide which door to walk through yet again.

President Trump’s choice will define his place in history.

America’s national security and the hope of the Iranian people and the future of the Middle East depends upon this decision.

Pray he chooses wisely.

Hugh Hewitt: Trump's Choice

School children used to be taught about the dangers of yellow journalism, a practice where the media would falsify stories to inspire support for war, as in “you furnish the pictures, I’ll furnish the war.” Today, the practice is back, stronger than ever—but now it’s on the side against us.

When Ayatollah Khamenei was confirmed dead, the New York Times labeled him “avuncular and magnanimous,” complemented with a story picturing mourning Iranians.  This would be news to the overwhelming majority of Iranians who celebrated the end of their tyrant’s life—a mass murderer of innocents across the globe. 

CNN aired a story on Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon, not once mentioning the precipitating cause: Hezbollah showering rockets into Israel.

Elite outlets also deliberately obfuscated just who threw IEDS into a crowd in New York City this weekend—making it look the real “bad guys” were anti-Islamist protestors when it was, in fact, American Islamists.

If you get your own news from mainstream media, the simple truth is this: you’ll be misinformed and uninformed.

Seth Leibsohn: Don’t Trust Our Mainstream Media

As the world marked International Women’s Day, an international incident reminded us what real repression looks like — and how silent many so-called “feminists” have become.

As their bus left Australia for a flight back to Iran, members of Iran’s women’s soccer team flashed “SOS” hand signals pleading for help. Iranian state media had branded them traitors for refusing to sing the regime’s national anthem before a match.

It’s easy to see why they were afraid to go home. Under Iran’s Islamist theocracy, women possess few rights and defiance carries brutal consequences.

As the Australian government dithered, President Trump urged officials to act and offered asylum in America.

For years, American feminist groups have called the president sexist. Yet when real women risked everything for freedom, he moved quickly to protect them — while the so-called feminists did nothing.

Carol Platt Liebau: As the Feminists Do Nothing

This year marks 25 years since September 11, 2001.

Since then, America has grown older, and soberer.

We’ve learned the hard way that even the world’s greatest military cannot remake the Middle East. After Iraq and Afghanistan, few Americans want another long conflict in a distant land.

But let’s be clear: Iran isn’t some random target. For nearly fifty years, its regime has waged war against us— directly and through terrorist proxies —working constantly to destabilize the region and beyond.

It has taken Americans hostage, pursued nuclear weapons, funded terror groups, aided our enemies, and even plotted to assassinate our president. Reports indicate it was preparing attacks on U.S. interests in the Middle East.

Iran’s evil leaders abused America for decades with impunity. Good riddance.
