It is ironic hearing Democrats suddenly worry about gas prices when they’ve spent years trying to shut down American oil production through their cultural Marxist environmental policies. These are the same people who cancelled the Keystone XL Pipeline on Day One, restricted drilling on federal lands, pushed the Green New Deal to eliminate fossil fuels, and celebrated high gas prices as necessary for their climate extremism.

Now they’re using foreign threats to create panic about energy costs they’ve been trying to increase through regulation and taxation.

The Iran strikes enhance American energy security by eliminating a nuclear threat without causing the oil disruption many feared. This decisive show of military deterrence reinforces U.S. strength while avoiding a wider conflict that could destabilize global energy markets. By neutralizing Iran’s nuclear program, President Trump protects key Gulf allies, major oil producers, helping ensure a stable global supply. The operation also undercuts Iranian threats to shipping lanes and reaffirms U.S. dominance in the region.

But dismantling the nuclear threat isn’t the only benefit. Iran is the primary destabilizing force in the Middle East, backing groups like the Houthis, who disrupt Red Sea shipping; Hamas, which is at war with Israel; Hezbollah, which destabilizes Lebanon; and militias fueling violence in Syria, Iraq, Bahrain, and Yemen. It is hoped that these strikes will also degrade Iran’s ability to fund and support its proxy network, opening the door to greater regional stability.

The greatest threat to affordable American energy isn’t Iran. It’s domestic policy. While Republicans focus on energy security through increased production and constitutional governance, Democrats continue to push policies that raise costs: rejoining the Paris Accord, imposing carbon taxes, blocking pipelines, and mandating expensive renewable transitions.

Trump’s handling of the Iran crisis reflects conservative foreign policy rooted in our constitutional republic, Peace Through Strength, by deterring aggression through overwhelming force; America First, by defending U.S. interests without entangling the nation in endless wars; and Energy Dominance, by reducing reliance on hostile regimes through domestic production.
