Iran’s Hour of Freedom Is at Hand

President Trump’s unleashing of “Operation Epic Fury” on Iran will change the course of history.He has done what no president in the last 50 years was willing to do: go after the despotic, terrorist enemy of Western Civilization, namely Iran and their Mullah regime.And by doing so, with our military might, working with our great friend Israel, Mr. Trump can rid the world of one of the most evil regimes in history. And he can bring peace and freedom and prosperity, not only to the Middle East, but to the entire Western World.Mr. Trump’s brave and courageous move is likely to bring results similar to the Berlin Wall coming down. A move unleashed by Ronald Reagan’s crusade against Soviet Communism.At that time, all of the Iron Curtain countries were liberated and freed from Russia’s tyranny. People blinked and communism was gone.With Mr. Trump’s determination to see it through, in four or five weeks the old evil Iranian empire will be gone.Now there are many, many reasons to end the Iranian regime — taking out their nuclear capability, take out their missile building, their terror financing, their entire military — but at the end of the day, I believe Mr. Trump’s “Epic Fury” is about restoring civilized value and civilized behavior in the Middle East.My friend Conrad Black, writing in the New York Sun, puts it this way: “The world’s foremost terrorism-sponsoring state is about to cease to exist, and the war on terror that was unofficially launched on September 11, 2001, in the ashes of the World Trade Center, will substantially be won.”And this is no forever war, as Trump critics keep complaining.Yet the scale and scope of geopolitical change because of Mr. Trump’s courage is almost intellectually immeasurable. While all of the gulf states are behind him, and even the large European nations reluctantly supporting, we have heard nary a peep from China or Russia. They are the big losers in America’s epic fury. Communist China will lose its cheap discounted oil.Russia will lose its Iranian-made drones. Both countries will have lost all of their Middle East influence.Meanwhile, a very similar story of Sino-Russian lost influence is occurring in South America with Mr. Trump’s pathbreaking move in Venezuela. And after watching the use of America’s military might, I would think China will surely be thinking twice or maybe five times more about invading Taiwan.Finally, Mr. Trump issued a clear message to the people of Iran, that a historic moment of freedom is there if they can seize it: “Finally, to the great, proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand.” He added: “America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. Now is the time to seize control of your destiny and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach. This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass”Yes indeed, the battle is always about freedom and liberty for mankind; there is nothing more important. Bravo President Trump.From Mr. Kudlow’s broadcast on Fox Business Network.
