CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 12, 2026
SOMETHING MAY BE ABOUT TO HAPPEN IN IRAN.
ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU FLEW TO WASHINGTON FOR TALKS WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP. IT’S A DELICATE MOMENT FOR A PRESIDENT WHO PROMISED TO GET US OUT OF WARS AND NOT INTO THEM. HE OFTEN BRAGS ABOUT THE EIGHT WARS HE HAS SETTLED.
EVEN THOUGH THE U.S. TOOK OUT IRAN’S NUCLEAR FACILITIES, IT DIDN’T GET THEM ALL. IRAN IS REBUILDING THEM, ALONG WITH UPGRADING THEIR ICBM MISSILES. IRAN IS THE TOP SPONSOR OF TERRORISM IN THE WORLD. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SAID IF GOONS CONTINUE KILLING DEMONSTRATORS HE WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. GOONS ARE CONTINUING TO KILL DEMONSTRATORS. ACCORDING TO REPORTS THEY ARE NOW KILLING THE WOUNDED IN THEIR HOSPITAL BEDS.
THE PROBLEM IS WHAT COMES NEXT? IF WE ARE SUCCESSFUL IN REMOVING THE AYATOLLAHS AND REVOLUTIONARY GUARD FROM POWER, WHO AND WHAT WILL REPLACE THEM? AND WILL WHOEVER REPLACES THEM FULLY DISMANTLE IRAN’S NUCLEAR AND MISSLE PROGRAMS?
IRAN’S THREATS TO WAGE WAR THROUGHOUT THE REGION IF ATTACKED DOESN’T CARRY MUCH WEIGHT. THEY HAVE NO AIR FORCE AND THEY WERE INCAPABLE OF LAUNCHING A STRONG RESPONSE TO THE U.S. AND ISRAELI ATTACKS IN JUNE LAST YEAR.
THE PRESIDENT AND NETANYAHU HAVE A TOUGH DECISION TO MAKE. ONE HOPES THEY GET IT RIGHT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
