Amid the ongoing war with Iran, US President Donald Trump on Monday cited former US President Ronald Reagan’s Cold War approach, writing “PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, TO PUT IT MILDLY!!!" in a post on Truth Social.
The phrase “peace through strength" comes from Reagan’s doctrine of deterrence, which relied on unmatched military and economic power to prevent conflict. It was a central idea during the Cold War.
Trump’s warning comes amid his 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump’s use of the phrase suggests a similar approach to the present situation with Iran, aiming to end threats decisively, including through recent operations, rather than allowing prolonged conflict.
