In this Daily Signal article, Victor Davis Hanson argues that criticism from prominent conservative voices over President Trump’s Iran strike misunderstands both the strategy and historical precedent behind it.
- Hanson describes the strike as part of a “Jacksonian” tradition of limited, decisive military action meant to deter enemies without dragging the U.S. into prolonged wars
- He highlights criticism from Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, noting their warnings about escalation and moral concerns
- The article argues those criticisms overstate the risks, emphasizing the strike was targeted and avoided civilian infrastructure
- Hanson points to Trump’s broader foreign policy pattern of using force selectively while avoiding nation-building or large troop deployments
- The strike is framed as a preemptive move to prevent Iran from advancing nuclear ambitions and supporting regional proxies
- Hanson questions what viable alternative critics are offering, suggesting their opposition lacks a clear strategic replacement
- He suggests internal conservative division could politically benefit Trump’s opponents
- The piece concludes that the backlash reflects inconsistency among critics rather than a fundamental flaw in the policy
