EA-Irish Examiner Podcast: Trump Does Not Know How to End His “Uncontained War” with Iran

---

I joined Times Radio’s Maddie Hale on Saturday to analyze Donald Trump’s latest actions in the US-Israel War on Iran: lies about the state of the American assault and Iran’s retaliation; betrayal of Ukraine; and acceptance of Russia giving targeting information to the Iranians about US warplanes, warships, and troop positions.

I begin the 38-minute deep dive by discussing the possibility of the US seizing Kharg Island, the hub for more than 90% of Iran’s oil exports. I contrast Trump’s bravado with the failure of the Administration to prepare for Iran’s response, from attacks on Gulf States to the closure of the Straits of Hormuz.

In short, “the Trump camp do not have a Plan B at this point”.

I explain how with that lack of a Plan B, Trump assailed Ukraine over its defense against Russia’s invasion — and then endorsed Vladimir Putin’s support of the Iranian counter-attacks on American troops.
