Reports from late 2025 and early 2026 [1] [2] [3] indicate that the second Trump administration has indeed authorized military strikes in seven countries during its first year. While the administration has often framed these actions as part of a "Peace through Strength" doctrine, conflict monitors have noted a significant surge in the frequency of operations compared to previous years.
Below is the breakdown of the countries involved and the nature of the strikes:
Countries Targeted in 2025–2026
| Country | Timing | Objective / Context |
| Yemen | Jan – May 2025 | Operation Rough Rider: Extensive strikes against Houthi rebels to secure Red Sea shipping lanes. |
| Somalia | Ongoing (since Feb 2025) | Significant escalation of counterterrorism strikes against al-Shabaab and ISIS-Somalia. |
| Iraq | March 2025 | Precision strikes targeting high-ranking ISIS leaders in the Anbar province. |
| Iran | June 2025 / Feb 2026 | Initial strikes on nuclear facilities in 2025, followed by Operation Epic Fury in early 2026 targeting leadership and military infrastructure. |
| Syria | Dec 2025 | Operation Hawkeye Strike: Retaliatory strikes against over 70 ISIS targets following the deaths of U.S. service members. |
| Nigeria | Dec 25, 2025 | Christmas Day strikes against ISIS-affiliated groups in the Sokoto state, coordinated with the Nigerian government. |
| Venezuela | Dec 2025 – Jan 2026 | Maritime strikes against alleged drug-smuggling vessels and a January 2026 operation resulting in the capture of Nicolás Maduro. |
- Scale of Activity: The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) reported over 600 strikes in 2025 alone. Some analysts have noted that this volume in a single year exceeds the total number of strikes carried out during the entire preceding four-year term.
- Controversy over "Peace" Platform: Critics and conflict monitors often contrast this high level of military activity with the President's campaign promises to end "forever wars" and avoid new foreign entanglements.
- Legal & Humanitarian Concerns: Organizations like Airwars have raised concerns regarding civilian casualties, particularly during the intensive campaigns in Yemen and Somalia. Additionally, the strikes on Venezuelan vessels in international waters have been described by some legal experts as "legally dubious."
Sobre a capa de "democratizar" o Irão e fim dos "terroristas", só há 2 interesses: petróleo e o expansionismo demencial de Israel sionista.
Embora seja o 9º em produção, o Irão possui a 3ª maior reserva provada de petróleo do mundo (atrás apenas da Venezuela e Arábia Saudita).

| Going to War, Again, for Israel |
"Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran. Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children.
Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition.
These are the leaders who want to bring “freedom” to Iran?
Does anyone really believe that?" [Bernie Sanders]
