America stands firm today beside our steadfast ally Israel as the Israeli Air Force courageously launches preemptive strikes against Iranian military and nuclear targets. The decisive move comes after mounting threats from Iran, a regime that has repeatedly vowed to annihilate the Jewish state. It’s a clear reminder of the dangers we face from state sponsors of terrorism—and why America’s partnership with Israel remains non-negotiable.
Senator John Fetterman, a Democrat whose party has often stumbled on foreign policy, was unequivocal this week, affirming his support for Israel in the strongest terms. “We back Israel to the hilt,” Fetterman declared, signaling an encouraging bipartisan stance that American conservatives have long advocated. Despite our deep disagreements with Fetterman on many domestic issues, when it comes to Israel, unity across the aisle is absolutely critical.
Rep. Ritchie Torres, also a Democrat from New York, took a similarly strong stance. Torres didn’t mince words when he labeled the Islamic Republic of Iran as “the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism,” pointing directly to Tehran’s support for violent proxies like Hamas—the terrorist organization behind the horrific October 7 massacre. Torres’s outspoken clarity is commendable, especially given the troubling wave of radical leftist voices within his own party who hesitate to call out terrorism when they see it.
Americans should stand proud today, knowing our nation is united in defense of freedom, democracy, and our Israeli allies. But make no mistake: the threat from Iran isn’t going away anytime soon. Tehran remains the engine behind Hamas and Hezbollah, funding and arming these terrorist groups while relentlessly pursuing nuclear weapons. This lethal combination demands swift and decisive action—and it demands that America stands shoulder to shoulder with Israel.
President Trump’s leadership has already sent a clear message to our enemies around the world: America will stand strong and resolute in defending its allies. Unlike the disastrous policies of Joe Biden and his administration, Trump’s America First agenda has prioritized national security, fostered strategic alliances, and put our adversaries on notice. We remember all too clearly Biden’s weakness on the world stage, emboldening Iran, undermining Israel, and putting American lives at risk. Those days are thankfully behind us, but the damage remains—and we must remain vigilant.
Under President Trump’s leadership, America is rebuilding its military strength, revitalizing American manufacturing, and demanding fair trade deals that put American interests first. His administration has delivered a clear-eyed, principled approach to global security—one that acknowledges the realities of evil regimes like Iran and doesn’t shy away from confronting them head-on.
The recent strikes by the Israeli Air Force are exactly the kind of decisive action we must support. Make no mistake: this is not just about Israel’s security; it’s about America’s security, too. Iran’s nuclear ambitions and sponsorship of terrorism threaten our soldiers, our citizens, and our homeland. For decades, Tehran has demonstrated that appeasement and diplomatic concessions only embolden their dangerous agenda. President Trump understands this reality clearly—and so do conservative Americans.
We applaud those in Congress who have stepped up to unequivocally support Israel in this critical moment. But words alone are not enough. Congress must work closely with the Trump administration to ensure that our military and diplomatic posture remains strong, our sanctions on Iran effective, and our commitment to Israel unwavering. Now is not the time for hesitation or half-measures.
As conservatives, we must continue to push our elected officials—on both sides of the aisle—to remain courageous and steadfast. America’s security depends on clear-eyed leadership and strong alliances. Israel needs America’s support now more than ever, and America needs to remain vigilant against the ongoing threats from Iran and its terrorist proxies. Together, we must ensure that freedom, security, and strength prevail.
