<p>On Tuesday morning, Americans woke up to the news that the U.S. embassy in Baghdad was physically <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-thousands-of-terrorist-supporters-storm-u-s-embassy-in-baghdad-after-u-s-strikes-kill-dozens-of-terrorists">assaulted and besieged</a> — not by anodyne &#8220;<a href="https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1212173561856757760">mourners</a>,&#8221; as the fine folks at The New York Times would have us believe, but by Iranian regime-supporting radical jihadists. The terrorists&#8217; physical storming of the embassy was allegedly in direct retaliation for U.S. airstrikes conducted against Kataib Hezbollah, which is the Iraqi proxy for the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hammer-defund-lebanon-and-do-it-yesterday">broader Hezbollah terrorist group</a> — itself a wholly owned and operated Shiite Islamist outfit of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hammer-iranian-revolution-forty-years-old-stand-josh-hammer">jihadist</a> Iranian regime. In many respects, Iraq is increasingly a mere Iranian satrapy.</p>
<p>Debate about how best to deal with the Iranian regime, which has been in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bryen-the-unyielding-iranian-menace">ceaseless state of war</a> with the West since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, continues to percolate throughout American conservative discourse. Paleoconservative-leaning Buchananites, led by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, came out swinging hard against retaliatory American military action after the mullahs <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/after-iran-shoots-down-huge-american-drone-trump-hank-berrien">downed an American unmanned aerial vehicle</a> (UAV) in June. In September, the debate rekindled after Iran and its proxies launched an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hammer-us-must-side-saudi-arabia-against-iranian-josh-hammer">unprecedented attack</a> against Saudi Arabian oil facilities. That Iranian attack against Saudi Arabia took place roughly a week after Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hammer-bad-trump-presidents-dismissal-john-bolton-josh-hammer">dismissal of then-National Security John Bolton</a>, who is famously hawkish on Iran.</p>
