Call me a hawk if you want. Like many Mexicans and people worldwide, I believe the Iranian regime must be decisively confronted and dismantled. Durable peace has never arrived without force, and the coming order will be no different. I really reject the fantasy that peace emerges without coercion. History shows otherwise. I support decisive action against the Iranian regime—not its people—and restore deterrence. Moral outrage alone doesn’t end regimes; power does.

The question isn’t whether power will be used, but whether it will be used to end a system built on terror.
