IRAN
HAS THE BLOOD OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS ON ITS HANDS
- Iran
and its terror proxies have a long history of killing thousands of
American citizens and soldiers for nearly half a century.
- In
April
1983, an Iran-backed terrorist group carried out a
suicide bombing at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, killing 17 Americans.
- In
October
1983, Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists killed 241 U.S.
military personnel — including 220 U.S. Marines and 21 other service
personnel — in a truck bombing at a Marine compound in Beirut.
- In
December
1984, Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists hijacked Kuwait
Airways Flight 221 en route to Pakistan, diverting it to Tehran —
where they brutally tortured and killed two American officials.
- In
August
1995, an Iran-backed Hamas suicide bomber blew up a
bus in Jerusalem, killing an American and three other passengers, and
wounding more than 100 others.
- In

19 U.S. Airmen and wounded nearly 500 others in a truck bombing at a
U.S. Air Force housing complex in Saudi Arabia.

Iran-backed Hezbollah, simultaneously bombed U.S. embassies in Kenya
and Tanzania, killing 224 people — including a dozen American
citizens.
- In
July
2002, an Iran-backed Hamas terrorist killed five
Americans in a bombing at Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

U.S. troops in Iraq — “roughly one in every six American combat
fatalities in Iraq.”
- In
October
2023, Iran-backed Hamas terrorists killed 46 Americans
and kidnapped at least 12 Americans in the October 7th massacre.
- Between
October
2023 and November 2024, Iran and its proxies conducted
more than 180 attacks against U.S. forces in the Middle East,
wounding more than 180 U.S. service members and killing three service
members.
- Iran
even tried to assassinate
President Trump before the 2024 presidential election.
- Iran
is the world’s number one state-sponsor
of terrorism.
- Just
two months ago, the government of Iran killed tens
of thousands of its own citizens who were protesting in
the streets.
- President
Trump vowed
to support the people of Iran, urging them to keep
protesting and saying, “HELP IS ON ITS WAY.”
PRESIDENT
TRUMP HAD COMPLETE POWER TO AUTHORIZE THIS OPERATION
- President
Trump is completely justified in these strikes.
- Secretary
of State Marco Rubio notified
the Congressional Gang of Eight prior to the attacks.
- As
Commander in Chief of the military under Aritcle
II of the Constitution, the President has the authority
to protect American troops in the region from Iran’s terror threat.
- As
Secretary
Rubio said, “If we stood and waited for that attack to
come first before we hit them... we would suffer much higher
casualties.”
PRESIDENT
TRUMP IS ENDING A WAR IRAN STARTED 47 YEARS AGO
- Secretary
of War Pete Hegseth: “This is not a so-called
regime-change war, but the regime sure did change, and the world is
better off for it.”
- Secretary
Hegseth: “We didn't start this war, but under
President Trump, we are finishing it.”
- Secretary
Rubio: “The hardest hits are yet to come from the U.S.
military. The next phase will be even more punishing on Iran than it
is right now... The world will be a safer place when we're done with
this operation.”
- Barack
Obama gave Iran a pallet of cash while Joe Biden was too weak to stand
up to Iran.
- President
Trump has had the courage to do what American presidents for nearly 50
years have failed to do: Eliminate the Iran terror threat.
DEMOCRATS
HAVE HAD AN UNHINGED REACTION
- Many
Democrats refuse to accept that the world is a safer place now that
the leader of the world’s number one sponsor of terrorism is dead:
- California
Senator Adam
Schiff said Iran “posed no imminent threat.”
- Colorado
Rep. Jason
Crow claimed Iran was “no imminent threat” to the
United States.
- Some
Democrats have become unhinged, letting their hatred of President
Trump outweigh any logical thinking:
- New
York Congressional candidate Jack
Schlossberg said he’s calling for a regime change in
the United States.
- Minnesota
Rep. Rashida
Tlaib referred to the United States as “they.”
DEMOCRATS
FOR YEARS ALLOWED OBAMA AND BIDEN TO STRIKE WITHOUT SEEKING CONGRESSIONAL
APPROVAL
- For
years during the Obama and Biden administrations, Democrats routinely
sided with the president when he conducted military strikes abroad
without Congressional approval.
- Democrats
at the time allowed Obama and Biden to conduct these military
operations without seeking Congressional authority. Hear them in their
own words:
- Senator
Tim Kaine in 2014: “The president always has the power
under Article II to use any forces including ground forces to repel
an imminent threat to the United States.”
- Senator
Ben Cardin in 2014: “You have Article II power, the
president has Article II power. So he always has the right for a
short period of time to defend the interests of this nation as he
sees fit, and that’s his responsibility as commander in chief.”
- Then-Senate
majority leader Harry Reid in 2011: “The War Powers
Act has no application to what’s going on in Libya…We have no troops
on the ground there and this thing’s gonna be over before you know it
anyway so I think it’s not necessary…I’d much rather have Gadhafi
gone…The sooner he goes, the better off.”
- Then-House
minority leader Nancy Pelosi in 2011: Reporter:
“You’re saying the President did not need authorization initially and
still does not need any authorization from Congress on Libya?”
Pelosi: “Yes.”
- Then-Secretary
of State John Kerry in 2013: “The president, as you
know, retains the authority, always has the authority, had the
authority to strike before coming to Congress and that doesn’t
change.”
- Nancy
Pelosi in 2013: “I don't think that the congressional
authorization is necessary. [in Syria].”
- Rep.
Adam Schiff in 2014 downplayed the effectiveness of
Congress authorizing military actions in Iraq and Syria: “We’re a
pretty dysfunctional lot, to put it mildly.”
- Rep.
Adam Smith in 2014 ran cover for Obama not seeking
congressional authority for strikes in Iraq and Syria, saying it’s
“odd that members of Congress are complaining that the President’s
not asking for it [authority]. He doesn’t run the Legislative
branch!”
- Nancy
Pelosi in 2014: “I believe…that a president does not
need any additional congressional authority to act upon measures to
protect our national security.”
- Joe
Biden in 2021: “I directed last night's airstrikes
targeting sites used by the Iranian backed militia groups responsible
for recent attacks on U.S. personnel in Iraq. And I have that
authority under Article II; and even those up on the Hill who are
reluctant to acknowledge that, acknowledge that's the case.”
- Jen
Psaki in 2021: “Article II, the self-defense, the
defense of the United States and our interests is our domestic
justification for these strikes announced yesterday.”
