THREAD: For 47 years, the Iranian Regime has been regularly targeting and killing Americans. Here is a timeline of 50 plus examples of Iran hurting America and terrorizing the world. 1979: The Iranian regime took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran resulting in a 444‑day hostage crisis. 1983: The Iranian regime provided material support to Hezbollah for the Beirut Marine barracks bombing that killed 241 U.S. service members. 1984: The Iranian regime’s proxy Hezbollah kidnapped CIA station chief William Buckley in Beirut. Buckley died in captivity. 1984: The Iranian regime’s proxy Hezbollah carried out the truck bomb attack on the U.S. Embassy annex in Beirut, killing 24.

There are two completely different versions of “America First.” One is “America Only.” Stay inside your borders. Don’t get involved. Pretend the rest of the world doesn’t matter. React only after something hits your soil. It sounds clean. It sounds safe. But it ignores how the real world actually works. Then there’s strategic America First. The version that understands a simple reality: Threats don’t stay where they start. They grow. They organize. They export violence. If you wait until it reaches your doorstep, you’re already late. Should we be reminded of all the attacks on US soil? New York, DC, Texas........ Think about it like this: You don’t wait for the fire to spread into your house before you deal with it. If the house across the street is a crack house producing violence, you don’t ignore it because “it’s not your property.” You deal with it before it spills over. That’s the divide. “America Only” says: Not our problem until it’s on our soil ignoring the fact that there is a source and then you have elements already on American soil. Strategic America First says: Make sure it never reaches our soil. Now apply that to Iran. This didn’t start yesterday. It didn’t start with drones. It didn’t start with missiles. This goes back to 1979, when the regime was established and 52 Americans were taken hostage for 444 days during the Iran hostage crisis. That was the opening signal. Since then, the pattern hasn’t changed - it’s just evolved. Direct attacks. Proxy warfare. Plausible deniability. Examples: • 1983 - Beirut barracks bombing Iran-backed Hezbollah kills 241 U.S. service members in a single attack • 1980s–2000s - Embassy bombings, kidnappings, hijackings Americans targeted through Iranian-backed groups across the region • Iraq War era - Explosively formed penetrators (EFPs) Iran-backed militias linked to hundreds of U.S. troop deaths • Ongoing - Proxy network Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, militias, and regional actors used to strike U.S. interests without direct attribution. This is the part people don’t want to say clearly: You don’t need a formal declaration of war for there to be a war. For decades, Iran has operated in the gray zone: Not full-scale war Not peace Just constant pressure, constant casualties, constant escalation So the question isn’t: “Why are we involved?” The real question is: Do you wait until it becomes undeniable… or deal with it while you still have leverage? Because history shows one thing over and over: When threats are ignored early, they don’t disappear. They get stronger, more organized, and more expensive to deal with later. Bottom line: “America Only” reacts. Strategic America First prevents. And prevention is always cheaper than war on your own soil.

Trump: "I also want to thank FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, perhaps the most powerful man in this room. You are doing some job. He's trying to make the fake news real and respected again."

For nearly a half a century, the Iranian regime has been slaughtering Americans. President Trump is doing what other Presidents have refused to do — eliminate the Iranian threat so no more American blood is spilled by these terrorists. 🧵THREAD:
