The segment discusses former President Donald Trump’s fluctuating public deadlines and statements regarding potential U.S. military action against Iran. He has repeatedly shifted timelines—from claiming he’d end conflicts within 24 hours, to vague new two-week “decisions”—creating widespread uncertainty. Analyst Patrick Henningsen argues this delay may be strategic rather than genuine, possibly tied to logistical military preparations and Israel’s need to restock air defense systems like Iron Dome, with U.S. assistance.

Veteran journalist Seymour Hersh reportedly claims an operation is imminent, possibly as soon as the coming weekend. There are indicators—such as repositioning of U.S. personnel and equipment—that suggest preparations are underway. Henningsen warns not to trust Trump’s public statements, recalling previous instances where negotiations served as a smokescreen for attacks.

Israeli PM Netanyahu has openly acknowledged deep U.S. involvement in defense efforts, with U.S. pilots, ships, and missile systems already active in Israel. This suggests the U.S. is already co-belligerent, even if not formally declaring war.

Media narratives claim Iran is exhausted and weak, but Henningsen rebuts this, pointing to how even Yemen managed to resist a U.S.-led air campaign. If Yemen posed challenges, Iran—vastly more powerful—would be a far greater problem. He expresses skepticism about Western media’s pro-Israel slant and warns that Iran likely has tens of thousands, potentially over 100,000 missiles, making a long conflict likely and costly.

In conclusion, the situation is volatile, Trump’s unpredictability is dangerous, and U.S.-Israel coordination suggests escalation may be closer than the public is being told.
