On this Memorial Day, President Trump will pay tribute to our fallen heroes amidst concerns that others’ lives may be lost in renewed conflict with Iran now temporarily paused. 

Donald Trump promised in the 2024 campaign to prevent “endless wars.” But, the most endless war in history is the one waged against Western civilization for fourteen hundred years by Islam’s founder Mohammed and his successors. And the President has an opportunity actually to defeat its prime-movers.

Unfortunately, that will not be what results from the present negotiations. To the contrary, the deal said to be in the offing will prop up and empower the Iranian regime and, by so doing, encourage every other jihadist around the world to intensify efforts to impose their totalitarian sharia law on all of us.

Mr. President, truly end this endless war by winning, not perpetuating, it. 

This is Frank Gaffney.
