Update: Trump Breaks Silence About Iran War

Trump’s war with Iran is escalating fast and the consequences are spreading across the Middle East. Tommy and Ben break down the latest military operations, Iran’s decision to attack countries and sow chaos across the region, and the growing regional fallout as missiles and drones hit targets from Israel to the Gulf. Then they play clips from Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s chaotic press conference and unpack their lies and incoherence, shifting war aims, and refusal to rule out boots on the ground. They explain Iran’s strategy, the costly missile defense math, the risks of wider escalation — and what Democrats should be saying right now.
