Senate Majority Leader John Thune is backing regime change in Iran as President Donald Trump considers military strikes to crush Tehran's dangerous nuclear ambitions once and for all.
The South Dakota Republican made it crystal clear that any military action against the Iranian regime needs to go big or go home. "In my view, if you're going to do something there, you better well make it about getting new leadership and regime change," Thune declared.
This represents exactly the kind of backbone we need from Republican leadership as Trump weighs his options against one of America's most dangerous enemies. Unlike the weak-kneed approach of the previous administration, this signals that the Trump-Vance team is serious about ending Iran's reign of terror.
Time to Finish What We Started
For too long, the Iranian regime has been allowed to spread chaos across the Middle East while pursuing nuclear weapons that threaten our greatest ally, Israel, and American interests worldwide. The Biden regime's disastrous appeasement policies only emboldened these terrorists.
Now, with strong Republican control of both the White House and Senate, America finally has the leadership willing to confront this threat head-on. Thune's support for regime change shows that congressional Republicans are ready to back Trump's America First approach to foreign policy.
"The Iranian people deserve freedom from their oppressive rulers, and America deserves security from this terrorist state."
This isn't about endless wars – it's about decisive action that actually solves problems instead of kicking the can down the road like previous administrations. The Iranian regime has been playing games for decades while building nuclear capabilities and funding terrorist proxies across the region.
Patriots Stand with Strength
Thune's backing demonstrates that Trump has the congressional support needed for bold action. This is what real leadership looks like – not the endless diplomatic failures that only gave Iran more time to develop weapons of mass destruction.
The question now isn't whether action is needed, but how quickly Trump can move to eliminate this threat to American security and our allies in the region. The Iranian people deserve freedom, and Americans deserve safety from this terrorist regime.
