Vice President JD Vance isn't mincing words when it comes to the terrorists targeting American personnel in Iran, and every patriot should be cheering.
In remarks released Tuesday, Vance confirmed what the Biden administration spent four years trying to ignore: the region is crawling with terrorist militias who want nothing more than to kill Americans—and this administration is done playing nice.
Rubio Taking Action to Protect Americans
Vance praised Secretary of State Marco Rubio for taking decisive action to protect U.S. personnel at the embassy in Iran, which has faced repeated militia attacks.
"Marco's done a good job of limiting the number of people who are at that embassy, so we can provide essential functions, but also protect our people," Vance stated.
This is what America First leadership looks like, folks. Instead of the Biden regime's strategy of appeasement and pallets of cash, the Trump-Vance administration is prioritizing American lives while maintaining our diplomatic presence.
The Line in the Sand: NO Nuclear Weapons
But here's where Vance drew the hardest line—one that should send shivers down the spine of every mullah in Tehran.
"There are a lot of terrorists in that region of the world, and we've got to eliminate them when we find them," Vance declared. "And you can't give them nuclear weapons. You can give them rifles, you can give them guns, you can't give them nuclear weapons."
Read that again. This administration understands what's at stake. While the previous administration was busy trying to resurrect Obama's disastrous Iran nuclear deal, President Trump and Vice President Vance recognize the existential threat of putting the world's deadliest weapons in the hands of the world's most dangerous terrorists.
A Stark Contrast
Remember when Biden's team practically begged Iran to come back to the negotiating table? Remember the billions unfrozen, the sanctions relief, the weakness projected to every bad actor in the Middle East?
Those days are over.
The Trump-Vance administration has made it abundantly clear: attack Americans, and you will be eliminated. Threaten our allies, and there will be consequences. Pursue nuclear weapons to arm terrorist proxies, and you've crossed a line from which there's no return.
This is the kind of strength that keeps Americans safe—and keeps our enemies up at night.
