Iranian-backed terror militias have escalated their war against America by launching a direct missile attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, forcing the State Department to issue an urgent warning for all Americans to flee Iraq immediately.
The brazen assault on American sovereign territory comes as President Trump's administration inherits yet another foreign policy disaster from the catastrophic Biden regime, which spent four years emboldening Iran and its terrorist proxies across the Middle East.
"Iran-aligned terrorist militias have encouraged and conducted indiscriminate attacks on U.S. citizens and targets associated with the United States throughout Iraq, including the Iraqi Kurdistan Region," the State Department warned in its emergency advisory.
This is exactly what happens when America projects weakness on the world stage. Biden's appeasement of Iran and his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal sent a clear message to terrorists everywhere: America can be attacked without consequence.
For four long years, the Biden administration rolled over for the Iranian regime, unfroze billions in sanctions relief, and turned a blind eye as Tehran's terror networks spread across Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Gaza. Now President Trump must clean up another mess left by the incompetent Washington establishment.
The missile strike represents a dangerous escalation that puts American lives at risk and threatens to drag the region into wider conflict. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and their Iraqi militia puppets clearly believe they can test Trump's resolve in his second term.
They're about to learn they picked the wrong president to mess with.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth now face the urgent task of responding to this act of war while protecting American citizens and interests. Unlike the weak Biden team that allowed Iran to run wild for four years, this administration won't hesitate to defend America with overwhelming force.
How many more Biden foreign policy disasters will President Trump have to fix before America's enemies learn that the days of attacking us with impunity are over?
