This is not a drill, Patriots. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has issued the most urgent directive possible to every American citizen inside Iran: Leave immediately. Do not expect government assistance getting out.
Let that sink in. The United States has no embassy in Iran. If things go sideways—and all signs point to exactly that—Americans trapped inside will receive zero direct protection from their own government. The State Department isn't just suggesting caution; they're telling citizens to stockpile food, water, and medications, find secure locations, plan land escape routes through Armenia or Turkey, and prepare for sudden flight cancellations and complete internet blackouts.
That's not diplomatic boilerplate, folks. That's crisis-level language reserved for moments when something catastrophic is about to unfold.
A Four-Star General Says What Everyone's Thinking
Retired four-star General Jack Keane appeared on Fox News and finally said what most analysts have been too afraid to say publicly. Iran, he declared, is at the weakest point in its forty-five year history—politically, economically, and militarily.
"The United States and Israel possess exquisite intelligence on Iranian military infrastructure. A comprehensive plan exists to take down the civilian and military leadership, destroy the entire IRGC infrastructure, eliminate their ballistic missile program, and force the collapse of the regime."
General Keane called this a "historic opportunity" that no president before Trump has ever had. He argued that making a deal with Tehran would only throw the regime a lifeline, extending its survival by another decade. The general believes President Trump understands this reality—and that regime collapse is the pathway this administration will ultimately pursue.
After decades of the Iranian regime funding terrorism across the globe, holding Americans hostage, and chanting "Death to America" while weak presidents sent pallets of cash in the dead of night, we finally have leadership willing to confront this evil head-on.
Iran Threatens, China Watches
Predictably, Iran's foreign minister responded with bluster, telling Al Jazeera that Iran would strike United States military bases if attacked and that the country will "never surrender" its uranium enrichment capabilities. Same tired threats from a regime running on fumes.
But here's what should concern every American: China announced it is "closely monitoring" the situation without issuing any evacuation orders of its own. When one superpower tells its citizens to flee and another begins watching in silence, the signal is unmistakable. Beijing knows something is coming—and they're positioning themselves accordingly.
U.S. warships have already moved into waters near Iran. Regional airlines are limiting or canceling flights. The pieces are moving into place.
This Is What Real Leadership Looks Like
Remember Afghanistan? Remember the Biden regime's catastrophic withdrawal that left Americans stranded, allies abandoned, and thirteen service members dead? Remember the chaos, the desperation, the absolute failure of leadership?
President Trump learned from those disasters—disasters he inherited from the previous administration's weakness and incompetence. He's not waiting for a crisis to develop. He's preventing one. He's giving Americans advance warning. He's positioning assets. He's preparing for every contingency.
That's not warmongering. That's responsible leadership from a Commander-in-Chief who actually puts American lives first.
The forty-five year nightmare of the Islamic Republic may finally be approaching its end. And for the first time in decades, America has a president with the backbone to see it through.
The question isn't whether something is coming. The question is: are you paying attention?
