Retired Space Force colonel warns Trump's Iran strikes are 'reckless adventurism and distraction'

"These strikes on Iran aren't America first, they are essentially America alone, without our allies at our side. Operation Epic Fury is aptly named as what happens anytime President Trump doesn't get what he wants."

"In the overnight address, Trump described Iran as 'the world's number one state sponsor of terror' and said the U.S. military had launched a 'massive and ongoing operation' to eliminate what he called imminent threats from the Iranian regime. He pledged to 'destroy their missiles,' 'annihilate their Navy,' and ensure Iran's missile industry is 'totally obliterated.'"

President Trump announced in a video statement that the United States had begun major combat operations in Iran without Congressional approval, declaring Iran will never obtain nuclear weapons and calling on Iranians to overthrow their government. Trump described Iran as the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and pledged to destroy Iranian missiles, annihilate their navy, and obliterate their missile industry. He acknowledged potential American casualties. Retired Space Force Col. Bree Fram, the highest-ranking transgender person in military history, immediately criticized the military action, stating the strikes isolate America from allies and represent Trump's reactive decision-making rather than a strategic America-first approach.
