President Trump made the call to go to war with Iran.
The opening salvo took everyone by surprise.
And a Fox News star was stunned by this stunning Trump order on Iran.
As Conservative Reboot reports:
President Trump announced that the United States and Israel initiated a regime change war in Iran.

In his speech, posted to social media, Trump argued that Iran’s past support for terrorism and nuclear program justified the strikes.
The strikes began in the daytime, which stood out to Fox News Special Report anchor Brett Baier.
“It is an overwhelming force. And one thing that really strikes you is that this happened in daylight,” Baier said on Fox & Friends. “This was not under the cover of darkness. This was not overnight at 3 a.m. their time. This was when the sun was up.”
America’s number one advantage in air superiority is flying at night.
It’s unmatched, barnone.
But in this case, Trump felt so confident in America’s ability to conduct this regime change war that he opted to begin the conflict during the day, which would otherwise not handicap the opponent as much.
“So, there is a confidence in this military that they can take targets out indiscriminately, even in sunlight,” Baier added.
But there were many questions left unanswered.
Trump only said the goal was regime change.
Baier noted that the President never laid out a plan for what would happen if the Ayatollah and the Islamic government fell.
“What comes next? What is the on-the-ground situation like? How does this transition happen if it happens?” Baier wondered.
There are unanswered questions about who would take over and what would happen if a massive refugee crisis ensued if Iran devolves into a bloody civil war.
Trump stated that his immediate concern was decimating the threat he argued Iran posed to the United States.
That included annihilating Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile program and degrading its terrorist proxies.
The timing of the operation demonstrated Trump’s confidence in the military.
