The US-Israel war on Iran: Letters to the Editor — March 3, 2026

The Issue: The United States and Israel’s attack on Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

President Trump will be remembered as the greatest foreign-policy president in American history (“Fury unleashed on the Ayatollah,” March 1).

Where previous presidents have stood by — or in the case of Barack Obama, facilitated Iran — while it financed terror worldwide and worked to develop a nuclear bomb, Trump has identified and eradicated the existential threat.

Like Winston Churchill, Trump is saving the United States and Western civilization from murderous madmen.

In 2011, Trump criticized Obama for his Middle East foreign policy.

“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak, and he’s ineffective,” Trump said.

If our current president really had the negotiation skills he once boasted about, maybe he could’ve cut a deal and saved some lives.

The United States and Israel did not start this war. Extremists whose mantra is “Death to America, death to Israel” started it when they seized control of Iran in 1979.

Since then, they have kidnapped American embassy workers, murdered US service members, massacred Jewish civilians in Argentina, sponsored Hamas and Hezbollah’s terrorism and slaughtered 30,000 Iranian civilians for protesting against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s brutal regime.

That’s why American, Israeli and pre-1979 Iranian flags are waving together at rallies.

San Francisco, Calif.

I join our country in praying for the families of the three service members killed in action and for those injured during Operation Epic Fury. May God bless and protect our brave military personnel.

We also pray for the innocent people in Iran and across the region, and for a new future of freedom and peace.

DA’s latest insult to cops: Letters to the Editor — March 2, 2026

Hallandale Beach, Fla.

Trump assured us we had obliterated Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons, so what exactly justifies him bypassing Congress and entering into a war?

If it’s for regime change, that simply does not qualify; there’s no danger there.

For a man who tried to popularize a myth that Obama was going to attack Iran, this is but another instance of having a rudderless leader who has no policy.

Iran has been at war with America for 47 years. Iranians kidnapped Americans in 1979, killed hundreds of American soldiers and plotted twice to kill Trump.

Finally, we have a president who acts in America’s best interest and chopped off the snake’s head.

Now it’s time for Americans to support our country. Do you hear that, Democrats?

Another Middle East conflict? What is the reasoning now?

Evil dictator, weapons of mass destruction?

I pray it isn’t a forever war again. One service person lost is one too many.

Breathe and taste freedom. Trump did it again; he helped another country be free.

Forty-seven years of cruel dictatorship, murdering innocent people, funding terrorists, killing American servicemen and women. There should be no tears for that heartless regime.

The Ayatollah and his henchmen will no longer be chanting “Death to America.” They’ve joined the countless others who have underestimated the strength and resolve of President Trump.

May God bless our fighting men and women and the Iranian people, whose prayers Trump has answered.

Now that Israeli and American forces have begun Operation Epic Fury, I have a question: Assuming the military strikes result in regime change in Iran, who will take control of the government? Will he be a friend or foe?
