"Capable partners are good partners, unlike so many of our traditional allies — wringing their hands and clutching their pearls, hemming and hawing over the use of force. ... No stupid rules of engagement, no nation-building quagmire, no democracy building exercise, no politically correct wars. ... Iran has an ability to project power that we can't tolerate."
- U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth
