The Iranian regime is an enemy of the free world and the leading sponsor of global terror. Full stop.

After 45 years of dialogue, Iran was more dangerous, more deadly, and closer to having nuclear weapons. Enough.

Mr. Netanyahu: Tear down that reactor!

The Iranian military commanders that Israel took out last night were responsible for sending many U.S. soldiers home in flag-draped coffins.

Every American should celebrate the degradation of the IRGC.

I was at this operation with Noem. It wasn’t targeting a “pregnant mother”, it was targeting her previously deported illegal alien Mexican husband who had been convicted of drug trafficking in February & had an attempted murder charge pleaded down to an assault conviction. ICE had a criminal judicial warrant for his arrest, signed off on by a federal judge, because he illegally re-entered the U.S. after removal, which is a felony.

Of course, none of that context is in @KTLA reporting here as they only spoke to his wife, who apparently *shockingly* didn’t disclose any of his criminal history.
Today I will nominate @realDonaldTrump for the Nobel Peace Prize. No one deserves it more.
Right now, Iran is putting holes in the sky. But @realDonaldTrump can put a lot more holes in Iran.
Every day, NPR convinces me it should be defunded.

Another day, another unbelievable rogue ruling by a liberal judge.

This won’t stand.
NEW: Per senior CBP source, there were 1,504 Iranian nationals caught crossing the border illegally during the Biden administration from FY’21 through FY’24, 729 (48%) of whom were released into the U.S.

Year by year breakdown of Iranian nationals caught by Border Patrol at southern border:

FY’21 - 48
FY’22 - 197
FY’23 - 462
FY’24 - 797

Year by year breakdown of Iranians released into the U.S. by Border Patrol 

FY’21 - 12
FY’22 - 40
FY’23 - 229
FY’24 - 448

Additional color:

It’s unclear how many of these Iranians were on the terror watchlist, as the Biden administration repeatedly denied my FOIA requests and appeals for the data, citing the “privacy concerns” of the people on the list and “minimal public interest” in disclosing the data. 

There were over 2 million known/recorded gotaways at the border during the Biden administration. Because they were never caught, no way of knowing where they’re from. 

All Iranians are “special interest aliens” due to national security concerns, and they are supposed to receive enhanced vetting by DHS.

Almost half of the Iranians encountered by the Biden Border Patrol were released into the U.S.
FACT — The mission that Commander-in-Chief @realDonaldTrump directed our military to execute was strategic, targeted, and limited only to the objectives of Operation Midnight Hammer.
This is also a night to salute the greatest and bravest military in the world. 🇺🇸
Never forget that Barack Obama’s Iran deal guaranteed the Ayatollah would have nuclear weapons.
Tonight, @realDonaldTrump is showing the world the true meaning of peace through strength.

And American strength is making peace with Iran possible for the first time in 46 years.
