UPDATES: US War on Iran, Day 251 — US Strikes Qeshm Island in Strait of Hormuz
I joined PoliticsJOE’s Ava Santina on Tuesday to take down “clickbait joker” Tucker Carlson over his proclamation that the Trump Administration is on the verge of dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran.
I highlight how Carlson, fired by Fox TV and hosting his own show, makes unsourced, dramatic claims. Indeed, he has made the same, dramatic claims about nuclear weapons and the Iran War on several occasions.
I push himself to assess the important issue: will the Trump Administration return to conventional strikes across Iran or will it return to talks for a settlement?
I discuss the relationship between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who pushed for strikes before the US midterm elections. I look at the effect of the Israel lobby and whether it is waning in the US.
And I consider Trump’s next move on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — will he remain in Vladimir Putin’s pocket?
