Staff Reports
In a daring and successful operation, American forces carried out a drone strike in Iraq that took out three members of the Iranian-backed Kataib Hezbollah militia. These militants were not just any run-of-the-mill bad guys; they were involved in the previous drone strike that tragically killed three brave U.S. troops.
The strike, conducted late Wednesday in Baghdad’s Mashtal neighborhood, targeted a “high-value individual,” according to reliable sources. One of the terrorists eliminated in the attack was none other than Wissam Mohammed “Abu Bakr” al-Saadi, the commander responsible for coordinating Kataib Hezbollah’s operations in Syria. Good riddance!

It’s no secret that Iran has been financing and arming extremist Islamic militias throughout the region. They have no qualms about supporting rebels who want to disrupt international trade routes or terrorists who oppose American presence in the area and threaten Israel’s security. Thankfully, the U.S. military is not standing idly by and taking this lightly.
The swift and decisive response came just in time, as Kataib Hezbollah had temporarily claimed to halt attacks against American troops in order to spare the Iraqi government from embarrassment. But make no mistake, other militants are still vowing to continue their fight against us. Rest assured, the United States will not back down in the face of evil.
Videos from the aftermath of the strike show a wrecked vehicle and a structure fire, a satisfying sight for those who believe in justice. And while some may boo-hoo and cry about the crowds in Baghdad chanting “America is the devil,” we, the conservatives, know that their anger stems from fear. They know that we are a force to be reckoned with, one that will not tolerate terrorism.
The Pentagon has proudly confirmed this successful strike, as well as provided details about other targets that were taken out in the region. Over 80 targets, including command centers, intelligence hubs, weapon depots, and logistics bunkers, were destroyed or rendered inoperable. This is how you deal with terrorists: by hitting them where it hurts the most.
Erasing these terrorists from the face of the Earth is a task worth pursuing. The U.S. military has always excelled at this, and it is a policy that should be unapologetically pursued, not only to discourage others from following in their footsteps but also to send a clear message to Tehran. We will not tolerate their proxy wars, their support for terrorism, or their threats against our allies.
While more details may emerge in the coming hours and days, we can all celebrate this victory against evil. America, the land of the free, remains steadfast in its commitment to protect our troops, eliminate terrorists, and promote peace and stability in the world. Kudos to our brave men and women in uniform who make it all possible.
