Trump’s bold move to rid the world of Iran’s evil regime once and for all

Summary

The article praises President Trump's aggressive stance against Iran, framing it as a necessary step to eliminate an "evil regime." It highlights past actions and suggests a lasting peace is possible through decisive action.

Key Takeaways

1. President Trump is taking decisive action against Iran instead of hoping to get away with kicking the can further down the road.
2. Coming on top of the regional peace-building of the Abraham Accords, it has the promise of a lasting entente that even includes formal Saudi-Israeli peace — and of dramatically pulling the teeth of the Islamist movements (Sunni as well as Shi’a) behind most of the world’s terrorism.
3. Trump is also risking his own political capital, and that of the Republican Party — stakes he deems well worth the likely payoff for our nation and the world.
