I joined Times Radio’s Maddie Hale for a 32-minute weekend review of the US-Israel War on Iran, beginning with the loss of two American warplanes on Friday.

I evaluate the military and political consequences, including the psychological boost to the Iranian regime, and conclude that it brings the Trump camp nearer to an important decision.

They either have to go into talks with the Iranians, which will not be on the basis of a US ultimatum, or they will have to pursue ground operations.

There is no in-between here.

I also highlight the Trumpist purge of the US military, with the dismissal of more commanders including Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George.

And I explain why Donald Trump scapegoated and fired his loyal servant, Attorney General Pam Bondi — and why it will not save him from the Epstein Files.
