<p>The Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro weighed in late on Friday after the United States launched retaliatory strikes on Iran, saying that President Donald Trump’s latest move was proof that the “peace through strength” foreign policy was back.</p>
<p>Shapiro responded to the news that American forces had targeted “Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites” on Friday afternoon, responding to an Iranian attack on a Singapore-flagged ship in the Strait of Hormuz that took place one day prior.</p>

<p>Shapiro laid out what exactly had transpired in the hours leading up the the the U.S. response, and noted the Trump had quickly made it clear he “couldn’t allow” Tehran to violate the agreement.</p>
<p>He went on to say that the president’s reaction was proof of a “shift” in the thinking within the administration, and that the “peace through strength” foreign policy — often touted by the late President Ronald Reagan — was back: “A President Trump 1.0 foreign policy.”</p>
<p>United States Central Command (CENTCOM) issued a statement at the time, saying that American forces would remain in the area to make sure that Iran obeyed the terms laid out by the ceasefire agreement.</p>
<p>“CENTCOM forces continue to provide safe passage coordination and support to commercial vessels transiting the strait,” the command said. “The U.S. military remains present and vigilant to ensure all aspects of the agreement with Iran are adhered to, obeyed, and in full force and effect.”</p>
<p>Vice President JD Vance also responded to news of the retaliatory strike, saying that the United States had every intention of holding to the terms of the ceasefire agreement, but would not stand down if Iran moved in violation of the deal. “Violence will be met with violence,” he said.</p>
