Action Against Iran

The conversation centers on the potential military action by the U.S. against Iran, with President Trump having the option to strike as soon as the weekend. The buildup of U.S. forces in the Middle East is in response to Iran’s nuclear program and missile capabilities. Indirect talks in Geneva showed progress but significant gaps remain. Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel is pushing for action to weaken Iran’s missile capabilities. Matt criticizes the previous Iran nuclear deal as ineffective and highlights the current administration’s willingness to take military action, contrasting it with past administrations. The discussion also touches on the influence of Marco Rubio’s foreign policy philosophy on the current administration’s stance.
