(From Eighth District Congressman Jason Smith)President Trump promised Missourians that his foreign policy would make America respected on the world stage again, rebuild our military, and act decisively to address threats confronting our nation — but also a foreign policy that would prevent us from becoming engaged once again in “forever wars” with no clearly defined objective. This is a President clearly committed to peace — after all, he has ended 8 wars and conflicts around the globe since taking office — but also a president that will act boldly and decisively to protect the American people.
In the early morning of February 28, the United States launched Operation Epic Fury, which killed Ayatollah Khamenei and much of Iran’s senior military leadership — who have openly supported a violent campaign of terror against the United States for decades. The strike also delivered a blow against Iran’s military capabilities by targeting their missile programs and nuclear weapons development.
The Iranian regime has funded terrorism across the globe, armed violent proxy groups, openly called for “Death to America,” and called for the assassination of President Donald Trump. Iran is the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, and the House of Representatives reaffirmed that designation just this week in strong bipartisan fashion. Ayatollah Khamenei was responsible for destabilizing the Middle East and threatening American troops, allies, and interests abroad for decades. Allowing a regime like that to grow stronger by developing nuclear weapons would put even more innocent lives at risk.
President Trump took this decisive action against Iran only after sending negotiators to hammer out a peace accord. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff met with the Iranians the week before, and it was the Iranians — not the United States — who refused to pursue peace. The administration briefed Congress on its operation and its goals, and I believe it is President Trump’s intention to ensure the future of Iran is left up to the Iranian people — and not to make it the responsibility of the American military.
Much of the operation in Iran was carried out by Missouri’s own B-2 Spirit stealth bombers — one of the most advanced aircraft ever built. During the operation, our B-2 bombers dropped dozens of 2,000-pound bombs on Iran’s missile facilities and obliterated military targets pivotal for the regime’s constant aggression. I am incredibly grateful for our servicemembers’ work to carry out this attack, and I know for a fact that their actions made the region and world a safer place than before.
In the wake of Operation Epic Fury were the alarming actions of a 501(c) group that sent out an action alert to its members to launch anti-U.S. protests 10 minutes BEFORE President Trump even announced the strikes. The ANSWER Coalition, a non-profit funded by an American-born billionaire with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party, Neville Roy Singham, mobilized its network of activists to sow chaos and dissension in the streets of America following the President’s actions.
What’s more, The People’s Forum — another group in Singham’s network of non-profits funded by his CCP-friendly wallet — is organizing another “protest” in New York City that is sure to continue their blueprint of instigating division and unrest.
Under my leadership, the Ways and Means Committee repeatedly called on the Biden IRS and is now working with the Trump IRS to investigate and potentially revoke the tax-exempt status of groups under Singham’s umbrella, as well as any other nonprofits tied to foreign adversaries. Tax-exempt status is a privilege, not a right, and it must never be used as cover for foreign propaganda or activity that threatens American security.
I know President Trump is deeply committed to peace, and I have confidence that every Missourian is safer and more secure today because of the President’s bold, decisive action. My prayers are with our servicemembers carrying out these targeted attacks, and I am hopeful that all Americans will come together to support our men and women of the Armed Forces.

More magat moronic malarkey. Still waiting for something, anything, sounding educated from this inept politician.
I'm still waiting for Matt Geatz to reveal what he says is in Jason's closet.
It's not simply magat malarkey you TDS suffering fool. It's pure 1984 speak from our government, same stuff we get served with every presidency. "We are safer now because we destroyed another country for Israel!"
Wow, thanks, I feel so respected now that we have shown the whole world without a shadow of a doubt that we're Israel's b****...
People voted for Obama because he was for peace, and that quickly changed throughout his presidency. People voted for Trump because he pointed out that Iraq was a huge mistake and he would never do something like that... well guess what, turns out he would, and he will.
Iran is one of the last countries in the middle east that needs regime change in order for Israel to have full control of the area.
If any of you silly billys want to find out more about this you need turn off your Daily Wires and your BBCs and whatever state propaganda you consume mindlessly and tune in to the Corbet Report.
kOMRADE kRASNOV aPPROVES tHIS mESSAGE!
Serious journalism by a you tube podcast influencer? Sorry 1006, but you must live in a very small world. What's next, Uncle Bob's weather report from his basement?
4:56, LOL... imagine being so incredibly brainwashed and backwards that you think news is only legitimate if it comes from an actor reading from a teleprompter sitting in a multi million dollar studio owned by Billionaires with ties to the CIA and Jefferey Epstein
wow.. just wow.
James Corbett is the exact opposite of an influencer, he couldn't care any less about the spot light, his youtube channel was taken down for several years for reporting the truth and he couldn't have cared less, he just posted on the several other alternative platforms out there. When youtube allowed him back on he was even considering staying off just because youtube is trash. I'm sure you're already mentally checked out at this point but your ignorance needs to be fully rebuked. There isn't another journalist out there as well researched and more importantly SOURCED, with such a long track record of telling the truth, as James Corbett. You are the type of lazy that would read a comment, type in the name you didn't recognize into google and just go "ha, this guy a youtuber, that mean he not serious" *click, brain turns off. Without spending a few minutes skimming through his website or even watching one of his videos.
I do live in a very small world, one where people actually seek the truth and won't put up with mainstream propaganda.
"What's next, Uncle Bob's weather report from his basement?"... I'm guessing you haven't heard of Ryan Hall, Max Velocity, etc. Guys who report weather from their basements...
I know the term Boomer gets thrown around a lot, but are you an actual Boomer?
OMG! You can't be serious 951! You just wrote the most ludicrously cringeworthy revealing piece of crap ever seen on The TR. I'm laughing my ars off and feeling sorry for you at the same time.
5:18, nice projection buddy, but when you criticize someone without offering any evidence contrary to their post it kinda just makes you look like a child who knows they're wrong but are too stubborn to admit it. Sorry you're not smart enough to hang here.
