Iran Will Be a Free Country & America IS Great Again - March 2nd, 2026
Takeaway #1: America IS Great Again
What you witnessed this weekend is one of modern history’s inflection points delivered by the most breathtakingly successful military campaign we’ve ever seen. It started last summer with the dropping of the MOPs on Iran’s nuclear facilities, it continued with making Maduro go missing and after this weekend what’s clear is that after 47 years of terroristic repression – the Iranian people are on the precipice of being free and President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have prevented World War III. What’s happening right now is changing world history. The biggest challenge I face in delivering my Top Three Takeaways today is knowing where to begin. Unless you’re an Iranian immigrant what you woke up to Saturday morning isn’t likely to be one of those moments that ten, twenty or thirty years from now – you'll remember so specifically. As in exactly what you were doing and where you were when you found out that the first joint U.S. - Israeli military mission in history “Operation Epic Fury” was underway in a breathtakingly successful way. But rest assured that what happened on Saturday and what’s to play out in the days, weeks and months ahead will change the world in a historically significant way. From the streets of Tehran to Little Persia in L.A. (which btw, when would you have ever imagined that Iranians would be waving Iranian flags alongside, what we’ve seen is without question the middle east equivalent of the Berlin Wall coming down and the end of the Soviet Union. Ding, Dong, the world’s biggest state sponsor of terrorism is dead. But it’s so much more significant than it seems. As I’ve long said China isn’t just China, Russia isn’t just Russia, China is Russia, China is Iran, China is North Korea (with Little Rocket Man), China is Cuba, China is Venezuela, China is Nicaragua. Those had been the modern-day axis powers. Each country has played a strategically significant role geographically and materially in China’s assent towards the Communist country’s desired super-power status. Prior to the removal of the Maduro regime in Venezuela, 80% of the country’s energy supply was going towards fueling China’s growing war machine. Similarly, China has been the biggest buyer of Iranian energy as well – with a well-blow market fixed price for the commodity. In total, 18% of China’s total energy supply (as it existed previously) has been eliminated. There’s no doubt that China will look towards Russia to attempt to pick up the slack – but that will come at higher prices and with greater risk and less long-term security. What’s happened with Venezuela and Iran is the ultimate example of...
Takeaway #2: Peace through strength
During President Trump’s first term he “bombed the blank” out of ISIS and ended the-Obama era caliphate. Thus far in President Trump’s second term he’s responsible for these military activities... Taking out Houthi terrorists targeting Israel in Yemen paving the path for an end to the Hamas-Israel war. The elimination of ISIS terror leaders that rose up during the Biden administration in Iraq. The elimination of 126 terrorist operations in Somalia linked to an Al-Qaeda affiliate, the elimination of sixteen Islamic terrorist operations in Nigeria responsible for the persecution of Christians, dropping the MOPs on Iran’s nuclear facilities, ending that phase of the Iran-Israel war. The capture of Maduro in Venezuela, and now the toppling of the Ayatollah's entire regime. It’s been stunning success after stunning success with seemingly each mission proving to be more impressive than the rest. The United States of America is back to being great again on the world stage as President Trump has completely reshaped the trajectory of our country – from one of decline, to one of unprecedented strength, precision and capabilities. This is clear not just from what we’re witnessing but also what we’re not. Last summer, in the wake of President Trump’s dropping of the MOP’s on Iran’s nuclear facilities my message for you was this... <<During the Biden administration I’d regularly say that everyday Joe Biden was president of the United States the world was less safe. Every day that Donald Trump is president of the United States the world is proving to be a safer place. There’s no doubt that the Trump administration had been in contact with, and weighed the consideration of, the potential for U.S. involvement in Iran to escalate into at worst what could become World War III. What this means is that for Iran no help is coming. And it never did. Here’s China’s statement following the U.S.’s MOPs dropping: China strongly condemns the US attacks on Iran and bombing of nuclear facilities under the safeguards of the IAEA. The fact of the matter is that the statement was... As benign as it could be. China didn’t call for retaliation – they called for peace. And as for Russia’s statement: The confrontational actions of the U.S. and Israel must be collectively rejected. Coming from Russia, the invader of Ukraine, that’s downright hilarious. But again – it’s also nothing more than rhetorical posturing. That there’s no escalation in conflict coming from the U.S.’s two biggest adversaries who are also Iran’s two biggest allies tells you all you need to know. All of it points towards the potential for unprecedented peace.>> So fast forward to this weekend. Here’s what China had this to say: The "blatant killing of a sovereign leader" and the incitement of regime change were "unacceptable. They then called for a ceasefire... And as for Putin? His message to the Mullahs was this: Please accept my deep condolences in connection with the murder of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Seyed Ali Khamenei, and members of his family, committed in cynical violation of all norms of human morality and international law. Clearly, there’s no escalation. Clearly what the U.S. and Israel have been doing isn’t just working Its preventing World War III – while also showing...
Takeaway #3: Incredible dichotomy
What we’ve seen play out over the past year is a historically brilliant plan coming together. President Trump’s first foreign trip was to the middle east where he established trade deals and support from every Islamic country in the region – and rather than being met with hostility- he was treated like royalty. We’ve seen the brilliance of Trump’s plan playout as Trump first was able to lean on those countries to help establish a peace plan and stability in Gaza for an end to the Hamas-Israel war and now for the regime change in Iran. Not only was there broadly stated support in the middle east for the Iranian regime change policy – there was action. On Sunday OPEC countries held a meeting to announce they’d raise oil production to offset any short-term impact with Iranian oil production. Countries like Jordan, the UAE and Saudi Arabia are suddenly proving to be our strongest and most reliable allies – and not just within the region. As fast and strong as the support was from middle eastern countries – just as weak and meek was the response by the European Nations. Over the weekend as support was pouring in from Iran’s neighbors, we saw just how weak, meek and effectively useless the EU now is. The EU’s top diplomat described the Iranian regime change as “perilous”. The President of the EU said the developments were “greatly concerning”. The EU remains firmly in a state of decline. The U.S. is Great Again – and this time we have many strategically significant new friends in the unlikeliest of places due to President Trump’s brilliant planning and strategy. And as for what comes next? It’s unlikely to be a mess. Last year Trump had a plan in place for Gazan governance that few thought would work. It has. For two days all we heard from the Left and GSS News after Maduro’s capture has that it would create instability – it didn’t. What are the odds Trump went into Iran without a similar plan? What we’re witnessing is history it’s preventing World War III, and with the elimination of the world’s largest state-sponsor of terror we’re indeed on the precipice of unprecedented peace.
