They immediately reverted to the Obama administration type.

Biden literally brought back the exact same officials who did the JCPOA, relaxed oil sanctions, unfreezed billions as part of hostage swaps just a week before October 7th, 2023.

and what followed is exactly what you would expect.

Hell, we've been living through the result of Obama and Biden weakness over the last few years.

Iran saw an American government terrified of the word escalation, completely unwilling to enforce red lines, and giving the green light to all of their homicidal terrorist proxies.

We all saw the October 7th massacre, the Houthis choking off global shipping in the Red Sea, American troops killed in Jordan, and according to the IAEA, Iran accelerating its efforts to build nuclear weapons.

In response, Israel heavily damaged or destroyed many of Iran's terrorist proxies, including Hamas and Hezbollah.

But it was really with the commencement of President Trump's second term last year that maximum pressure came back into play.

This time, the Ayatollahs made a series of fatal miscalculations.

They assumed that they could just slow play or bluff President Trump.

wrong well first they were wrong in 2025 they refused to complete negotiation with president trump israel which was not willing to allow the further development of iranian ballistic missile buildup or nuclear development launched the 12-day war achieving complete air superiority over iran that was an operation that culminated in president trump's operation midnight hammer the b-2 bombing of the ford nuclear facility

And then Iran was wrong again in 2026.

Again, they kept slow playing or lying in negotiations.

They were murdering their protesters by the tens of thousands at home.

They continued to pursue nukes and ballistic missile activity.

President Trump is not just going to sit there.

He saw a historic opportunity to cut off Iran at its knees and acted to take down the greatest menace to the Middle East, America and the West with Operation Epic Fury.

Right now, the United States is systematically dismantling Iran's military and economic power.

The Iranian regime is on its last legs.

or last leg, depending on if you're talking about Moshtaba Khamenei, the son of the Ayatollah that we killed at the very beginning of the war.
