If President Donald J. Trump’s lightning-quick campaign against the Iranian regime — what he’s now aptly calling the “12 Day War” — is in fact concluded, then few media spectacles have aged as poorly as the screech-fest aired on Monday's episode of The View.

While American resolve was on full display overseas, back at home, ABC’s gaggle of left-wing co-hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, et al. — were in meltdown mode, peddling half-truths, partisan tantrums, and, at times, outright delusions.

Goldberg and Hostin kicked things off with the absurd claim that being black in the United States is equivalent — perhaps worse — than living under the iron-fisted theocracy of the Iranian regime. No word from actual Iranians, for obvious reasons. Reality check: free speech, upward mobility, and constitutional protections are things Americans enjoy — not Iranians. But don’t expect nuance from daytime television.

The table then turned to President Trump’s military strike on Iran’s nuclear program, with Joy Behar howling over the supposed betrayal of his promise to give diplomacy “two weeks.” “Remember that?” she asked, conveniently forgetting he said within two weeks — not after.

ABC News’ Jonathan Karl, no ally of Trump or the Republican Party, was forced into the unlikely role of adult in the room. He pointed out the obvious: the President made a decisive call based on intelligence and timing, not some arbitrary countdown clock for the benefit of cable news pundits.

Karl clarified that Trump had prepared for action but hoped for a diplomatic breakthrough:

“I think he thought he could have a Kim Jong Un moment with the supreme leader of Iran... The Iranians were not engaging at all, and he made the decision.”

That’s what leadership looks like — not the endless dithering we saw under Obama, who handed pallets of cash to Tehran in exchange for empty promises.

But Sunny Hostin wasn’t done. She waved away the entire threat, suggesting Iran has always been “just a few years away” from a bomb — an old talking point recycled to minimize the gravity of Trump’s actions. In fact, Karl noted:

“Four presidents contemplated military action... and held back. Donald Trump has done what they haven’t done.”

Indeed. For years, administrations of both parties postured about preventing a nuclear-armed Iran. President Trump is the first to act decisively.

Then came the legal smokescreen. Hostin — a lawyer, no less — whined about the “constitutionality” of Trump’s strike and invoked international law as though it means anything to the ayatollahs.

Karl, again, had to play defense:

“President after president has launched military action without the approval of Congress... I go back, I covered Bill Clinton and the military strikes against Kosovo back in 1999.”

Exactly. The War Powers Act has always been a political football, used selectively by Democrats when a Republican occupies the Oval Office.

But that’s the game at The View — feigned outrage, double standards, and virtue signals. Never mind that President Trump delivered a strike that crippled Iranian air defenses and shocked their nuclear ambitions into retreat. All that matters to the panel is that Trump did it — therefore, it must be wrong.

Let’s be clear: Iran must not possess nuclear weapons. Trump promised consequences. He delivered. And unlike the bowing-and-apologizing crowd of prior administrations, he didn’t wait for a permission slip from CNN, the U.N., or The View.

And when even Jonathan Karl is calling you out? You know it’s bad.
