American troops stationed in Iraq are coming under direct attack from Iranian-backed terror militias as the Trump administration's decisive military action against the Islamic Republic continues to unfold across the Middle East.
Kataib Hezbollah and other Iranian proxy forces have unleashed a barrage of rockets and drone attacks against U.S. personnel since the launch of Operation Epic Fury, according to Captain Tim Hawkins, spokesman for U.S. Central Command. Our brave servicemen and women are fighting back hard against these Iranian puppets who think they can intimidate America.
This is exactly the kind of multi-front aggression that President Trump warned about during his campaign - Iran's network of terrorist proxies stretching across the region, all funded and armed by the murderous regime in Tehran. While the Biden administration spent four years appeasing these thugs and sending them pallets of cash, Trump is showing them what real American strength looks like.
Iran's Proxy War Strategy BACKFIRES
The escalating attacks reveal Iran's desperate strategy of using militia cannon fodder to avoid direct confrontation with American forces. These cowardly tactics are typical of a regime that knows it cannot match America's military might head-to-head.
"Iranian-backed militias have fired rockets and drones at U.S. troops since the start of Operation Epic Fury," Captain Hawkins confirmed, showing that Iran's tentacles of terror reach far beyond their own borders.
But here's what the mainstream media won't tell you: this proxy war proves that Trump's maximum pressure campaign is working. Iran is so rattled by our president's strength that they're throwing everything they have at our forces, hoping to force America to back down.
That's not happening under Donald J. Trump's watch.
Our troops are responding with overwhelming force, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has made it clear that any attack on American personnel will be met with devastating retaliation. This is what happens when America has real leadership again - our enemies know there will be consequences for their actions.
How long before Iran realizes that messing with Trump's America is a losing game?
