Carl Higbie called for a sweeping U.S. military strike against Iran in remarks delivered alongside a video clip of President Donald Trump, arguing that the United States has both the capability and the justification to take decisive action.
“Look, the downside of this is that sometimes you got to make pink mist parking lots and bomb people back to the Stone Age,” Higbie said.
“Which in Iran’s case, I’m actually completely fine with, and encourage it.”

He added that his views were shaped by combat experience. “Look, having been to war, I am generally against war,” he said. “Which is one of the many reasons I voted for Trump three times.”
At the same time, Higbie expressed support for potential action by the President. “But you know what I’m on board with,” he said. “Whatever Trump’s about to do with Iran.”
Higbie stated that his personal history in Iraq influenced his position. “First off, Iran should just be happy I’m not in charge,” he said. “Because I would bomb them just out of revenge, given my intimate experience fighting with them.”
He continued, “And this should kind of give you some insight into why I personally still think that it’s a good idea to turn Tehran into a thick, six foot thick sheet of glass.”

Recalling his deployment in 2007, Higbie described his unit’s mission. “But in 2007 my team’s primary mission in Iraq, which borders Iran, was in fact, to counter Iranian influence,” he said.
He claimed that “9995 99% of the munitions, guns, bombs, hardware, tech training IEDs were either supplied by, paid for by, or built by Iran.”
He then spoke about casualties. “Two of those IEDs killed,” he said. “Four of my friends.” He added, “Three were standing right next to me.”
Higbie said he was also wounded. “I was shot in the back by a PKM supplied by Iran,” he said. “Fired from an Iranian trained militia member of the Josh Al Mahdi, aka the jam militia, during the summer offensive in Baghdad.”
He also referenced a 2016 incident involving U.S. Navy personnel. “The Iranian regime took Navy hostages,” he said. “Put them on their knees, and blasted the pictures for the world to see in 2016.”
“So needless to say, I hate the Iranian regime,” Higbie added.
“And yes, I voted to not start any new wars, but we could finish one.”
Turning to U.S. military positioning, Higbie said, “These are our bases around Iran okay, there’s a lot of them.” He continued, “Safe to say, we can put a fighter jet or 200 over Tehran in less than 20 minutes.”
“Most of those bases, they won’t even know that they launch,” he said. “They won’t even know because they can’t be detected by radar, because our fighter jets are awesome.”
He also referenced naval forces in the region. “We have not one, but two carrier battle groups in the region,” Higbie said. “Each carrying more planes than all of Iran’s Air Force.”
He described destroyers “currently picking which window in which building they want to send a missile through,” adding that target packages were “built on target packages of our CIA that’s been on the ground collecting intel that we’ve infiltrated their country dating back to Iran Contra.”
Higbie further stated, “We have frigates with more resources than all the grocery stores and gas stations In Tehran.”
He added, “We have submarines that these people have no idea where they are.”
According to Higbie, those submarines are “each carrying up to eight independently launchable nuclear warheads.” He said, “Of which one would make Tehran look a lot like Gaza.”
He continued, “Three out of the four of our branches of our military are the three largest air forces in the world.” He added, “And we just move half of it into Iran’s backyard.”
Describing Iran’s leadership, Higbie said, “Iran’s leadership is a bunch of antique religious ideologues that don’t like bacon, that think they’re protected by Allah.” He concluded, “I say we test that protection.”
Addressing the President directly, Higbie said, “My only request, respectfully, Mr. President, if you do this, you do it to the max.” He added, “No more one offs.”
“Hit them so hard,” he said. “They don’t have a military, they don’t have an infrastructure, or even a clue.”
“When you’re done,” Higbie added, “then talk smack like you did after we hit Baghdadi.”
The video clip accompanying his remarks featured President Trump discussing a prior counterterrorism operation.
“He died like a dog,” President Trump said. “He died like a coward.”
“He’s offered everything you’re right,” he continued. “You know why? Because he doesn’t want to around with the United States.”
“I told Abdul, don’t do it anymore,” President Trump said. “You do it anymore. You’re gonna have problems.”
“And he said, Why do you send me a picture of my house?” President Trump added. “I said, you’re gonna have to figure that out, Abdul.”
Higbie closed with a final line: “So what do you say? Who’s down to black out the sky with some jets and make it rain glass in the desert.”
