One of President Donald Trump<\/a>‘s most outspoken critics in the legacy media is praising his administration’s strike on Iran.<\/p>\n

Washington Post columnist George Will penned<\/a> a piece on Sunday titled, “At last, the credibility of U.S. deterrence is being restored.”<\/p>\n

“The perhaps 30,000 protesters who perished in Iran\u2019s streets in early January did not die in vain,” Will wrote.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON POST SLAMMED FOR DESCRIBING AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI AS \u2018AVUNCULAR\u2019 WITH \u2018EASY SMILE\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Will, a former Republican who voted for Joe Biden<\/a> and Kamala Harris<\/a> in the most recent presidential elections, marveled at how “Precision munitions, directed by spectacular intelligence, enabled a decapitation strategy” as the U.S. and Israel carried out Operation Epic Fury on Saturday, which resulted in the elimination of the Iranian regime’s top leaders including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The U.S. action for regime change in Iran is not sufficient to produce regional tranquility. It is, however, a necessity for beginning to reestablish a precondition for a more peaceable world: the credibility of U.S. deterrence,” Will told readers.<\/p>\n

NYT CALLED OUT FOR HEADLINE CALLING AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI \u2018HARD-LINE CLERIC\u2019 WHO MADE IRAN INTO REGIONAL POWER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Post columnist lamented the credibility the U.S. lost on the world stage beginning in 1975, citing the last helicopter leaving the roof of the U.S. Embassy in Saigon, later invoking President Barack Obama<\/a>‘s “red line” that he drew for Syria regarding the use of chemical weapons which was later crossed in 2013, as well as President Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.<\/p>\n

“Today, Vladimir Putin is watching Venezuela, Iran (a source of some of Putin\u2019s drones) and soon, perhaps, Cuba, join Syria as vanished clients. The swiftness of their downfall illustrates the hollowness of Russia\u2019s claim to be a formidable global actor,” Will continued.<\/p>\n

Will also dismissed critics who’ve labeled Trump’s actions as a “war of choice,” calling it a “too casually bandied phrase” that “rarely fits untidy reality” and how his administration “has chosen not to wager U.S. safety on Iran\u2019s abandoning its multi-decade pursuit of nuclear weapons, or on Iran\u2019s acquiring them but not really meaning ‘Death to America.'”<\/p>\n

“Nationalism, so often derided, was never captured by Iran\u2019s regime. Instead, nationalism simmered against the state, which warred unceasingly against the nation. As America prepares to help, from a distance, Iran\u2019s political rebirth, we should heed an American poet\u2019s advice of bold thoroughness. Robert Frost: ‘The best way out is always through,'” he concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
