The President's Daily Brief · PDB Situation Report | February 21st, 2026: U.S. Deploys Largest Force Since Iraq & Buck Sexton On Political Brainwashing In The U.S. · 21 Feb 2026 podcast

But I do think when you talk about the significant proxies from a terror funding Houthis and others, look, part of this is is the grand strategy that we know this place is always going to go to hell almost any day of the week.

We've shown that historically, the United States has had a strong presence there, back and forth.

What we want is overall security and safety for our folks.

We don't want to see the world economy tank, but we also want to stand by Israel and our allies there.

We have a strong presence.

The Fifth Fleet is there, and it's not going to go anywhere, and it's been there for a very long time.

We are continuing to hit our proxies, but it's nothing new.

When I was in Iraq in 08, 09, during the surge, you saw our special operation forces targeting many of these same proxies, terror networks around the globe consistently.

It's just now, I think for the first time, when you see a president in here, what we've done in Venezuela, it sends fear into these networks.

When you see that we can fly bombers from the United States refueling

all the way across the globe to hit targets with no diminished efforts on our part, now is the time when our adversaries, the proxies attached to them, can see the danger in the United States, which gives us the strongest ability for negotiations.

And our negotiations should not give up any land, any territory.

We should go for the win in everything that we do right now.

When we're looking at Iran and you see the people standing up, you've got to assume that Marco Rubio is having a lot of discussions right now with the Pentagon on this, because it's not just going further to try to wipe out more of their nuclear stockpiles, which, oh, by the way, satellite imagery today shows that Iran is covering a lot of those facilities with sand, but we have no idea what's going on in the tunnels, despite our bunker busters hitting those.

We don't have a full battle damage assessment on it, but we know there's still sustainability.

So from a Marco Rubio, Secretary of State perspective, you know, regime change is always difficult to think of.

But in the circumstance of Iran, if it happens internally right now with the people standing up, there's an opportunity for different types of strikes.

I don't know what those would look like.

But we wouldn't want to destroy the country.

We wouldn't want to go after their electricity, their infrastructure, their bridges.
