In a bold and necessary exercise of American strength, President Donald J. Trump authorized Operation Epic Fury — a precise, overwhelming military campaign to eliminate the imminent nuclear threat posed by the Iranian regime, destroy its ballistic missile arsenal, degrade its proxy terror networks, and cripple its naval forces.

Doctors Without Borders or Medecins Sans Frontieres under its French name is one of the larger left-wing ‘global aid’ NGOs intertwined with the UN and which function as the best friends of Islamic terrorists. In between the usual preening fundraisers for more aid (give us money or the children will die) and parroting Islamic terrorist propaganda (every air strike on terrorists actually kills babies), Doctors Without Borders were doing the usual thing that ‘professional humanitarians’ do in war zones. After whistleblowers reported that MSF personnel had been trading food and water for sex to underage girls and other sexual abuses...

President Donald Trump declared an end to his campaign against Iran’s leaders with an exhortation on Sunday: “Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!” With the Iranian regime still in place, he was celebrating a resumption of the way the world was on Feb. 27, the day before the United States and Israel attacked Iran. A return to a version of the status quo was a far cry from the original aims of a war effort that kicked off with a vow to come to the aid of the Iranian protesters who had taken to their...

Their cooperation is expected to gather momentum at the meeting of the leaders of the Group of 7 nations in Evian, France, this week. It already includes sharing know-how, technology and weapons,...
