Forty-seven years after the mullahs seized power, the countdown ended in fire, and Trump wagered that decisive force—not talk—would finally clear the path to Iran’s liberation.
On January 25, just over a month ago, I wrote here that “The Countdown to Iran’s Liberation Has Begun.” Yes, there were peace talks. Donald Trump’s negotiators, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, jetted off to talk to Iran’s agents. Had Iran acceded to Trump’s key demands—above all, the abandonment of its efforts to acquire nuclear weapons—war might have been averted. As Churchill almost put it, it is better to jaw-jaw than to war-war. But the ticking sound that was clicking throughout Iran this last month or so was not diplomacy. It was, I speculated, “a death-rattle, as a murderous regime nears judgment and a brutalized people pray that liberation, at last, is real.”
The countdown reached zero—liftoff!—yesterday, February 28, at about 8:15 a.m. Tehran time. That is when the first wave of the assault to destroy the hideous, 47-year-old Islamicist regime commenced. Code-named Operation Epic Fury (“Roaring Lion” in Israel), the initial assault targeted sites across the country in Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Karaj, Tabriz, and elsewhere. According to some reports, a meeting in Tehran with the Supreme Leader Khamenei and several top aides was a primary target. Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, head of the judiciary in Iran, was killed in the strike. He had hundreds of Iranian citizens executed, so good riddance. Ditto for Mohammad Pakpour. He was, as one wag put it, “the new head of IRGC that replaced the previous new head of IRGC who was eliminated after he replaced the previous head of IRGC who was eliminated.” The same fate embraced Amir Hatami, the defense minister. It was he who directed the massacre of tens of thousands of Iranian protestors in January...

Jimmy Carter should be in the first paragraph of every story on Islamic terrorism.
The author used a line I’ve been using for years. Donald Trump will be one of our most consequential Presidents ever.
Obama was consequential too. We suffered his consequences. Biden is just a failure. Everything he sought to destroy is on a path to correction within a year. He’s inconsequential and barely a footnote in history. The Millard Fillmore of the 21st Century.
Trump oozes his love for America and the American people. Everything he does bears out that love and respect.
I’m not calling it Epic Fury as far as I’m concerned, it’s the 10th Crusade.
Not done with the mullahs just yet...They appointed a new one: Ali Yurnext Khamenei.
Y’all keep selecting ‘em; we’ll keep rubbing them out
Praying for God to watch over him and his family and his success, by the grace of God, in obtaining a lasting peace in the Middle East.
Without a regime change (can’t say that nowadays), the mullahs will not fall because they can replace each other and they still have all the internal guns.
Academia, the legacy media, and political class are largely part of the unenlightened pseudo-intelligentsia. They are blinded to truth by their own hubris.
Trump should have called it Operation Post Birth Abortion to get the Dims to support it.
All Tankers have effectively been stopped at the Strait of Hormuz. I just checked Ship Tracking and nothing is moving at the moment. The Iranians are threatening underwater drones and mines, which the US is in the process of neutralizing. The price is spiking today, but the sense is that the Iranians will be neutralized shortly and the Tanker Movement returned. China is putting pressure on Iran to NOT stop the flow.
That’s foreshadowing failure. Most crusades were disasters, and the ones that weren’t ultimately saw the loss of all that was conquered.
New exciting war gets all the coverage, boring old war disappears. Media tells you where your attention must be at all times. Old war not so fun anymore, the new war is more exciting.
The media eye will keep following the clicks. Clicks decide what is important news now.
“Donald Trump will be one of our most consequential Presidents ever.”
And just in time. There’s a good possibility it won’t drag on. Our joint intel with Israel is devastating. We hit Iran at will, but they can’t hit us, they can only fire back at our nearby military. The question is how long Iran’s ordinance will last.
I am thinking that what you describe was the actual purpose of the Biden pRsidency. Border-swarming, USAID, child-sterilization - this was all cover for the real criminals to “get out of Dodge”. It can be corrected relatively quickly, but it provides cover.
WADR....it isn’t “ordinance”. It’s ORDNANCE. (No “I” in the middle.
Blessings.
Finally!
I’ve kept a running list of PDJT’s accomplishments.
Nearly all involve, to one extent or another, cleaning up democrat messes, of which Jimmy Carter’s is the worst.
47 years ago America was united against Iran’s mullahs! Unfortunately we were saddled with Jimmy Carter.
Today the democrats, neo-nazis, commies, Antifa, democrat Jews in Congress(Bernie and Schumer) and liberals are supporting the mullahs against TRUMP and the USA.
