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.

Moshtaba is in a coma.

He may be missing a leg.

Their ballistic missile launcher capacity has been radically diminished.

Their nuclear facilities are literally under rock at this point.

Major infrastructure is gone.

The Iranian people are awaiting a signal to go out into the streets.
