CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 13, 2026
WE AMERICANS ARE AN IMPATIENT LOT. USED TO TV PROGRAMS THAT WRAP-UP STORIES IN UNDER AN HOUR, WE THINK THE SAME PLOT SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE WAR TO EXTINGUISH THE AYATOLLAH LEADERSHIP IN IRAN. REAL LIFE AND REAL WARS DON’T WORK THAT WAY.
AFTER TAKING – AND CONTINUING TO TAKE – A PUMMELING FROM U.S. AND ISRAELI JETS AND MISSILES AND AFTER FIRING ITS OWN MISSILES AT NEIGHBORING TARGETS, IRAN HAS DISPLAYED AN ARMADA OF EXPLOSIVE DRONES IT IS USING TO SHUTDWN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, DRIVING OIL PRICES UP TO $100 A BARREL AND CAUSING GAS PRICES TO GO AS HIGH AS $7 A GALLON IN CALIFORNIA.
THE U.S. AND ISRAEL HAVE SOME OF THE MOST SOPHISTICTED WEAPONRY ANYWHERE. THEY WILL BE TARGETING THESE DRONES, BUT IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME. BE PATIENT. A TOTAL VICTORY WILL BE MUCH BETTER THAN A PARTIAL VICTORY WHICH WILL MEAN WE WILL HAVE TO GO BACK AND DO THIS AGAIN IN LESS THAN TEN YEARS.
THE AYATOLLAHS ARE COUNTING ON US TO GIVE UP BECAUSE OF INCREASING OIL PRICES. STAY THE COURSE AND OIL PRICES WILL GET BACK TO WHERE THEY WERE BEFORE THE WAR AND LET’S HOPE A NEW, SECULAR GOVERNMENT WILL RULE IRAN. I’M CAL THOMAS.
