Finish that war in a positive manner,\u201d he responded. \u201cWe can\u2019t wait halfway through and decide we don\u2019t want to do this anymore. The IRGC is a radical terrorist organization that has deprived the Iranian people and the Persian people of their history and of a decent life. They have murdered, raped, tortured, assassinated and promoted terrorism all throughout the world, especially in the Middle\u00a0 East. They are a cancer on human existence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember as a young boy, in November 1979, watching the radical Islamic terrorists storm over the walls of our embassy, and 52 Americans held for 444 days. Ever since November of \u201979, the IRGC in Iran has done nothing but export terror, murder, rape, oppression and assassination to the region and to the world, and it\u2019s time it stops. Four decades is enough; the Iranian people have suffered enough, and I would say, Mr. President, put your cowboy hat on and get out there and kick some ass. Get this done and done right,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>X users were taken with the assertive, knowledgeable response:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">To quote Cory, \u201cWOW!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Similac Kwakersplein (@Kwakersplein) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Kwakersplein\/status\/2109808768305492274?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Whoever set this to \u201cFortunate Son\u201d deserves an Oscar nomination<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Matt (@mattnuevayork) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mattnuevayork\/status\/2109716536352973214?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Right on.
