The popular conservative pundit Mark Levin has already dubbed President Donald Trump the victor in the recent conflict between Iran and America.
“Thanks to the president’s strategic actions, and the Trump Doctrine, for the first time since the Reagan administration, Iran has lost and we have won,” Levin tweeted.
Levin, the host of the The Mark Levin Show on the Fox News Channel, predicted that the outcome was maddening to the Democrats and those in the main stream media.
“No doubt this infuriates the Democrats and the Democrat Party-press,” Levin said, “which has been trashing the president for days.”

Trump addressed the nation Wednesday morning and reaffirmed his resolve to keep Iran from becoming a nuclear power. “As long as I am President of the United States,” said Trump, “Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.”
Trump didn’t stop there, however. He then announced sanctions on Iran.
“As we continue to evaluate options in response to Iranian aggression” Trump said in his statement, “the United States will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the Iranian regime. These powerful sanctions will remain until Iran changes its behavior.”
In recent months alone, Iran has seized ships in international waters, fired an unprovoked strike on Saudi Arabia, and shot down two U.S. drones. Iran’s hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013, and they were given $150 billion, not to mention $1.8 billion in cash. Instead of saying “thank you” to the United States, they chanted “death to America.” In fact, they chanted “death to America” the day the agreement was signed.
Trump’s move did not go unnoticed by Levin. “The president also announced that there will be even more economic sanctions on the Iranian regime,” Levin tweeted, “and NATO will be more active in addressing any future Iranian military or terrorist actions against our country and fellow countrymen.”

Levin was not the only conservative to praise Trump’s tactics. Rep. Dan Crenshaw also was complimentary of Trump’s “strength through peace” strategy.
Judging from Iran’s statement “not seeking escalation “ & Trump’s tactical patience after last night’s inconsequential missile attacks, it appears that a strategy of peace through strength is working.
Doesn’t mean the road ahead is easy, but US leverage is vastly improved.
