MIKE PENCE: Trump and our incredible military are ending 47 years of Iranian terror

Trump launches Operation Epic Fury against Iran, and, after 47 years of that regime's attacks on America, it should restore deterrence across the Middle East.

Today, the Iranian navy sits at the bottom of the ocean, air superiority has been established over the skies of Iran and their capacity to launch missiles and wreak mayhem across the Middle East has been dramatically diminished. Mike Pence is the former vice president of the United States and founder of Advancing American Freedom.

As Operation Epic Fury unfolds, there is much credit to go around. But first President Donald Trump should be commended for taking decisive action to end decades of violence against American soldiers, our bases in the region and our cherished ally Israel. His willingness to strike at precisely the moment when the ayatollah and some 40 senior Iranian officials and commanders were assembled and most vulnerable was a master stroke.

And the president’s willingness to ignore the growing voices of isolationism echoing from the fringes of Republican ranks, unleashing the most powerful military in the world, not just in this time, but last year in Operation Midnight Hammer striking a devastating blow to Iran’s nuclear program, was deeply admirable.
