Operation Epic Fury and High Gas Prices: Why It’s Worth It

It’s Saturday! Here is today’s quick thought.

I see a lot of people, Democrats and Republicans included really nervous about how long Operation Epic Fury, America’s military operation against Iran, will last.

I personally believe that, in order to break the stalemate, President Trump will have to do something to get their attention, like blowing up the Super Tanker of oil that Iran has floating in the Strait of Hormuz right now that’s carrying 200 million barrels of oil. Whatever action has to be taken will be worth it to get peace.

Here’s why:

Per Google AI…

“Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran and its network of proxy groups have engaged in a45-year campaign of violence against U.S. military and civilian targets, resulting in over 1,000 American deaths. These attacks, often carried out by groups such as Hezbollah, Kataib Hezbollah, and the Houthis, are frequently orchestrated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force.Major attacks and campaigns include:

1980s: Rise of Hezbollah and Beirut Bombings

1979–1981 Tehran Hostage Crisis: Iranian students seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran, holding 66 Americans hostage for 444 days.

1983 Beirut Embassy Bombing: A suicide car bomb, linked to Iranian-backed Hezbollah, killed 63 people, including 17 Americans.

2020s–Present: Drone Strikes and Regional Warfare2020 Missile Strikes in Iraq: Following the U.S. killing of IRGC commander Qasem Soleimani, Iran launched ballistic missiles at Ain al-Asad Air Base, causing over 100 traumatic brain injuries.

2026 Active Hostilities: As of March 2026, reports indicate ongoing, large-scale U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iranian targets, with significant U.S. service member casualties.”

As I have written before, the past strategies used by American presidents to attempt to stop the attacks by Iran and their proxies by paying them off, has worked about as well as Neville Chamberlain strategy against the Nazis.

Those who are still in charge of Iran, the world’s State Sponsor of Radical Islamic terrorism, are engaged in a Jihad against the Great Satan, that’s us, as Americans. No American, not even those who are kissing Iran’s backside, are safe from them.

Their political ideology masquerading as a faith allows them to lie to us, something that Christianity considers a sin they consider blessed and allowed by Allah in order to have victory over the infidels.

Yes, gas prices are painful. Even down here in the South, it costs me $68 to fill up my Chevy Colorado.

However, I would rather pay more for gas than continue the failed strategy of appeasement of Iran, that will eventually lead to more Islamic Terrorist attacks and finally a nuclear war …that would most surely be the end of our country and our world as we know it.

Until He Comes,
