As we watch President Trump and all that’s happening with Iran and Khomeini, I think the situation can be summed up succinctly:

One door is marked "Truman/Reagan" and the other door is marked "Carter/Obama/Biden."

On three different occasions, Trump has walked through the first door:

  • He ordered the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iran’s Quds Force in January of 2020 in Iraq.
  • Trump followed that up with his second-term order to conduct Operation Midnight Resolve against Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities in June last year.
  • And then we saw Operation Absolute Resolve to snatch Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro in January.

Now President Trump has to decide which door to walk through yet again.

President Trump’s choice will define his place in history.

America’s national security and the hope of the Iranian people and the future of the Middle East depends upon this decision.

Pray he chooses wisely.
