To Bomb or Not to Bomb: That Is the Question

As global tensions rise and conflict stretches beyond Israel and Palestine into Iran, the United States now faces a critical decision. The stakes are high, and the path forward is anything but clear. We elected Donald Trump because we believed in an America First agenda, because we were tired of endless wars and the devastating loss of our nation’s greatest treasure: the young men and women who serve. But now we face a profound dilemma. Do we assist in striking Iran’s nuclear facilities to prevent them from ever reaching full capability, potentially neutralizing a major threat and preserving regional stability? Or do we stay out of it entirely, placing faith in Israel’s ability to act decisively on its own?

In my view, Donald Trump does not want war. He understands the value of strength and timing, and most importantly, the power of peace through strength. The opportunity before us isn’t just military, it’s diplomatic. By eliminating a nuclear threat, we don’t escalate war, we increase the potential for long-term peace. Unfortunately, past U.S. administrations took a different approach. The Obama-era policies, including the lifting of sanctions and the release of billions in frozen funds, empowered Iran rather than containing it. These actions emboldened the regime and pushed it closer to China, forming what can only be described as an unholy alliance.

Most nations today want peace, stability, and the ability to conduct business without fear of war. But peace is only possible when threats are taken seriously, and when American leadership means something again on the world stage. Let us all hope and pray the United States DOES NOT have to engage in this conflict, but if we do, we do so in a way that is exact and does not harm innocent civilians (who also want the regime in Iran to fall).
