Topic: Operation Midnight Hammer

The military operation in Iran is described as a strategic failure that turns a functional country into a quagmire of chaos. Discrepancies in intelligence are highlighted, noting that while Tulsi Gabbard reported Iran was not close to a nuclear weapon, President Trump claimed to have "other intelligence." This outside information is alleged to have come from the same sources that provided faulty intelligence regarding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

A Marine veteran argues that Iran was on the verge of civil war due to a massive water crisis and currency collapse. He claims Operation Midnight Hammer was designed to prevent nuclear materials from falling into the hands of warring factions. The host counters by noting the history of Western intervention in Iran, from the 1953 coup to the installation of the Ayatollah.
