Biden Scrambles to Stop Iran After Years of Liberal Weakness and Blunders

It looks like the Biden administration’s Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, has finally realized what conservatives have been warning about for years: if America doesn’t stand up to Iran and protect the world’s oil lifeline, no one else will. He says the U.S. Navy will “soon” start escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz—something that should have happened ages ago. Why did it take this long? Democrat leaders would rather appease dictators than defend American interests and energy security.

This is what happens when you let anti-American, globalist priorities run foreign policy. The left is more interested in cozying up to Iran, lifting sanctions, and pretending we can power the world with fairy dust and windmills. Meanwhile, real Americans know our economy—and the entire free world—still runs on oil. And that oil flows through places like the Strait of Hormuz, where Iranian terrorists are just waiting to strike.

It’s laughable that the Treasury Secretary, not the Secretary of Defense, is the one out front on this. Maybe that’s because Biden’s Pentagon is too busy worrying about woke training seminars and pronoun workshops to actually focus on keeping America strong. Democrats have spent years attacking our own military, weakening our resolve, and letting our enemies get bolder and bolder. Now, suddenly, we’re scrambling to do the job we should have been doing all along: using American strength to keep our energy—and our allies—safe from Iranian aggression.

Liberals and their media friends will call this move “provocative,” or claim it’s escalating tensions. That’s their favorite trick—blame America first, and hope the world’s bullies will magically play nice. The truth is, weakness invites more attacks. It’s only when the U.S. shows real backbone that our enemies start thinking twice.

So here we are—forced to clean up another left-wing mess with American warships. Scott Bessent says the Navy will be stepping up. Let’s hope this isn’t just talk, and that America remembers how to act like a superpower again. Are liberals finally waking up, or will they still find a way to surrender to terrorists and call it “smart diplomacy”?
