This virtual briefing by the Victory Coalition examines, among other things: the state of the war against Iran; progress made to date in dismantling the Iranian threat and bringing down the mullahocacy; the role being played by Iran’s superpower sponsors, China and Russia; the oil shocks and other economic repercussions of the conflict; and the prospects for an end to hostilities and on what terms.
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Keeping track of how the war with Iran is going, let alone where it’s going, is challenging. A key development from the latest phase of the Iranian regime’s war against us and most of the rest of the world – in which it has engaged since 1979 – has resulted in tectonic shifts in the Middle East. The United States and Israel have been joined by key European nations and a number of important Arab ones.
DALLAS, TEXAS: Yesterday, voters in Texas decisively affirmed Proposition 10 in the Republican primary with its five-word mandate: “Texas should prohibit sharia law.” With the support of 95 percent of those casting ballots, banning sharia – Islam’s toxic, totalitarian and demonic death-cult – has become a voting issue not only in their state, but across the country.

The ayatollahs, nonetheless, savagely crushed the uprising with impunity.

The fate of Iran’s despotic regime appears to be hanging in the balance. The country’s population – after almost five decades of repression, privation and sharia-indoctrination – are in the streets, risking life and limb to demand the mullahs’ overthrow.

With the extraordinary feat of U.S. military arms that seized and extracted Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro on Saturday, President Trump has reestablished the priority of hemispheric security among America’s vital interests. In so doing, he served notice on this country’s enemies in the Americas and those like China, Russia and Iran that have been allowed for far too long to operate here with impunity: Freedom-loving nations and peoples in the region will have a powerful friend in the United States and their foes a determined and engaged adversary.
