Hugh Hewitt: Trump’s High Stakes Showdown with Iran
Manage episode 475597392 series 3343739
If President Trump wants to secure a national security legacy that will never be other than history-changing, the time to do so is fast approaching.
President Trump has drawn a 'red line' for Iran, the question is whether or not he'll now enforce it.
The Institute for the Study of War recently published a summary of the moment:
"Senior Iranian officials are continuing to threaten nuclear weaponization, likely to try to deter a potential US or Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities amid new US threats to strike these facilities…."
At least a half-dozen B-2 bombers, along with tankers and cargo aircraft, have deployed to the island of Diego Garcia in recent weeks. It's about 2,400 miles from Iran's southern coast. The B-2s can reach everywhere in Iran, and they carry the heaviest ordinance.
Trump knows what a disaster it will be if Iran gets nukes.
On the edge of enormous events, American media seems almost oblivious to the highest-of-stakes showdown unfolding before our eyes. But they are unfolding … and rapidly.
