Four months ago, President Donald Trump made the final decision to send B-2 bombers over the skies of Iran, taking out nuclear facilities of the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump posted on Truth Social June 21, 2025.
The move wasn’t simply a strike to prevent the regime from gaining a nuclear weapon; it was part of a broader strategy to force the release of remaining living hostages and bring additional Arab countries into the Abraham Peace Accords. It was a way to prevent future wars, end current conflicts, and pave the path for peace.
“Had we not taken out the Iran nuclear facility and we made the same [ceasefire, hostage] deal, it would have a really dark cloud over it and you wouldn’t have people dancing in the streets,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One Sunday during his historic trip to Israel and Egypt. “If we didn’t take out the Iran nuclear [site] when we did, because in two months they would have had a nuclear weapon, this deal, even if it were done the exact same way, would have a dark cloud over it and now there’s no dark clouds, nobody they have to worry about.”
For decades, Iran has been the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism, with a special focus on Israel and the United States. Hamas and Hezbollah serve as proxies for the Iranian regime, and thanks to the Israelis, have been set back militarily. Due to sanctions from the United States, Iran's economy is starved of cash, and therefore, so are its terror branches. Trump’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities were a final step to set the regime back and reset the table in the region without nuclear blackmail and terrorism constantly looming as threats.
“It should now be clear to everyone throughout this region that decades of fomenting terrorism and extremism, jihadism and anti-Semitism have not worked—they have backfired completely and totally. From Gaza to Iran, those bitter hatreds have delivered nothing but misery, suffering, and failure,” Trump told the Knesset, sending a message to Israel’s neighbors that it's time to come into the modern world.
The Middle East is on its way to a new era, whether the Gaza Strip is changed or not. Iran has been defeated, and President Trump knows now is the time to promote commerce, booming economies, tourism, and co-existence. Arab partners are also embracing this reality. They have become tired of the never-ending Palestinian victimhood albatross and terror cycle that used to be fueled by Iran.
President Trump's decision to take out Iran's nuclear program was brilliant and part of a grand strategy that is playing out in tremendous fashion, with potential for a much brighter future. Most importantly, the United States and the world are safer for it.
