Keeping track of how the war with Iran is going, let alone where it’s going, is challenging.
A key development from the latest phase of the Iranian regime’s war against us and most of the rest of the world – in which it has engaged since 1979 – has resulted in tectonic shifts in the Middle East. The United States and Israel have been joined by key European nations and a number of important Arab ones.
While it remains to be seen how this coalition hangs together, the fact that it has formed up at all further seals the ayatollahs’ fate.
Provided, that is, President Trump continues to insist on their unconditional surrender. Combined with sustained efforts to destroy the regime’s security apparatus, that stance holds the greatest promise for regional peace and the return of Iran to the community of civilized nations.
This virtual briefing by the Victory Coalition examines, among other things: the state of the war against Iran; progress made to date in dismantling the Iranian threat and bringing down the mullahocacy; the role being played by Iran’s superpower sponsors, China and Russia; the oil shocks and other economic repercussions of the conflict; and the prospects for an end to hostilities and on what terms.

The Victory Coalition’s mission is to focus on the need for victory over those determined to impose Sharia, whether by violent jihad or the stealthy, subversive kind, on Americans here at home and on their friends and allies in the Middle East and beyond.
