COMMENTARY

By Kelly Sadler - The Washington Times - Thursday, June 19, 2025 

OPINION: 


President Trump has been crystal clear: Iran must never have a nuclear weapon. On Wednesday, he gave further details: Either Iran unconditionally surrenders and dismantles its nuclear capacity, or the U.S. bombs it. Both options achieve the same end: Iran’s nuclear program will no longer exist. 

Despite this clarity, the woke alt-right wants you to believe that Mr. Trump is abandoning his “America First” policies and potentially engaging the U.S. in another “endless war,” placing our soldiers in harm’s way. 

This couldn’t be further from the truth.

First, we must delineate between “America First” policies domestic and abroad, and it’s not like Mr. Trump is sacrificing one at the expense of the other. 

Domestically, Mr. Trump has focused on closing our southern border, reindustrializing America’s manufacturing base, rebalancing trade relationships, slashing regulations and improving our military readiness. In Mr. Trump’s first five months, border crossings have plummeted, U.S. unemployment levels are hovering at historically low levels and blue-collar wages have risen 1.7%, the most significant increase since 1968. 

Internationally, the motto of “America First” has been associated primarily with President Reagan’s slogan of “peace through strength.” In other words, America must exercise strength to achieve peace. The world is watching. If the U.S. fails to deliver on Mr. Trump’s red line that Iran may never have a nuclear weapon, there will be no deterrence to other bad actors, namely China and Russia. Threats are toothless if one fails to follow through. 

That leads to the following question: Does Iran have nuclear capabilities? The woke far right would have you questioning that, using Iraq and President George W. Bush’s promise of weapons of mass destruction to seed doubt in the intelligence communities and Israel’s assumption that they do. After giving Iran 60 days to negotiate in good faith, Israel attacked Iran on Day 61. Also on Day 61, the International Atomic Energy Agency formally declared Iran in breach of its nonproliferation obligations for the first time in 20 years. 

“I’ve yet to see a single good argument for why Iran needed to enrich uranium well above the threshold for civilian use. I’ve yet to see a single good argument for why Iran was justified in violating its non-proliferation obligations. I’ve yet to see a single good pushback against the IAEA’s findings,” Vice President J.D. Vance wrote Tuesday on X.
