Middle East Crisis: Can America protect Americans in the Gulf?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Biden should level every shack in Syria connected to Iran... like, yesterday.
49% : ON FIRE WHERE THE LEFT GETS THE SCENARIO IT ASKED FORWhat is really needed from the U.S. is escalation dominance -- bold actions that will terrify the Iranians and scare them off, like when the last president whacked Qasem Soleimani, the head of the IRGC for orchestrating a campaign of attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq.
43% : The problem is that this allows Tehran to control the pace of escalation.
43% : The U.S. should not only smack a bunch of targets, it should also slip Tehran a target list of people and property that are next.
42% : Tehran is perilously close to having the capacity to declare nuclear breakout.
40% : After repeated attacks by Iranian surrogates on U.S. bases, he authorized a few minimalistic retaliatory strikes -- to no effect.
40% : The two-year lapse in border security has left us far too vulnerable to that.
38% : Any of these could be targets as Hamas, its supporters, and Iran stir up anti-Americanism as part of their war on Israel.
37% : Already, Iranian surrogates have launched dozens of attacks on U.S. military posts in Iraq and Syria -- a campaign no doubt orchestrated by the IRGC.
36% : There is no telling when Tehran, Hamas or some other Islamist terrorist group will take their shot at another 9/11.
35% : It would also be super-helpful if Biden made it 1,000 percent clear that he will make no attempt to restrain Israel -- not in Gaza, not on their northern flank, nor in dealing with Iran.
32% : Beyond that, Biden needs to roll up his sleeves and start recruiting the Europeans to take a similar "get tough" stance on Iran.
28% : Meanwhile, the White House should get cracking on a strategic Plan B for Iran.
23% : Biden is stuck responding and reacting, always letting Tehran and its minions land the first punch.
