Iran continues to thumb its nose at the world, refusing deadlines and keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed. This brazen defiance shows exactly what happens when America projects weakness on the global stage. Tehran clearly believes it can still operate under the same lax rules it enjoyed during the previous administration.For years, empty threats and half-measures only emboldened our enemies. Iran’s regime knows the difference between real strength and political posturing, and right now they smell opportunity. The economic fallout from disrupted oil flows will hit American families hard at the pump.We need decisive leadership that puts American interests first, deters aggression, and restores respect through clear red lines. Anything less invites more chaos from rogue regimes who view hesitation as invitation.
