The world is waiting for President Trump to bring the horrible and sanguinary disaster of the last 47 years of terror, oppression, primitive bigotry, and objective failure of the Islamic Republic of Iran to an end.

Iran is the principal terrorism-sponsoring regime of the world; its entire purpose has been to expand the realm of intolerant, extreme, and murderous Islam. It has not been promoting a religion - it has been attempting to enforce by terror, and in the name of religion, murderous totalitarianism. Millions of Iranians have fled, the economy has collapsed, the currency has largely evaporated, and $1 trillion invested in nuclear missiles was vaporized in three minutes by the United States, as its president had promised.

Iran is the continuator of the distinguished Persian civilization of Cyrus the Great and Darius the Great.. there has never been such a horrible chapter of complete and barbarous failure as this appalling regime of bloodthirsty ayatollahs. The Islamic Republic has posted a large reward for the murder of the president of the United States. It has promised to exterminate the Jewish population of Israel.

It bankrolled the appalling Assad regime in Syria, which murdered large numbers of its countrymen. It financed Hezbollah in Lebanon that effectively took over and largely destroyed that country. It financed the Houthi civil war in Yemen, and from there effectively closed for a time the Red Sea and the Suez Canal by their attacks on international shipping. It has been the greatest single supplier of the Hamas terrorist organization which has conducted a constant and savage war against Israel for decades...

As the Iranian government is now killing innocent citizens in large numbers, it is amply meeting the criterion imposed by President Trump for recourse to what he called “not our boots on the ground, but hitting them very hard where it hurts.”...

It was shameful when President Carter assisted in pushing out the Shah to make way for Ayatollah Khomeini...
