EA on International Outlets: US-Iran — The “Deal” That Is Not A Deal
EA-Times Radio VideoCast: The Week in TrumpLand — Iran, Inflation, Epstein, and the World Cup
In our second hour-long “That Was The Week That Was”, The Trump Report’s Maddie Hale and I take apart Donald Trump’s failed war on Iran, culminating in a Memorandum of Understanding largely on Iranian terms.
We work through Iran’s successes including a ceasefire on all fronts, potentially hundreds of billions of dollars in returning for reopening — but continuing to control — the Strait of Hormuz, the lifting of the US blockade on Iranian ports, and talks on Tehran’s nuclear program pushed back to a later stage.
We examine the disarray in the Trump camp before looking at the man trying to exploit it: Vice President J.D. Vance, suddenly appearing across US talk shows as he tries to take over from Trump.
