Iran Is Out of Control - Victor Davis Hanson

The US-Iran-Israel war is reshaping the Middle East in real time — and most people have no idea what's actually happening. Jillian Michaels sits down with military historian and geopolitical strategist Victor Davis Hanson for an unfiltered breakdown of the crisis. Iran is threatening the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices are spiking. Hezbollah is escalating. And Donald Trump is under fire from Congress, the media, and fractures inside his own coalition. The window to prevent a wider regional war is closing fast. Is Iran capable of backing down — or is regime collapse inevitable? Has Trump strengthened or undermined American deterrence? And are we watching the beginning of World War 3 — or the final chapter of the Iranian regime? Victor Davis Hanson breaks it all down: Trump's Iran strategy — is it working? Iran's nuclear program and the enrichment red line Why Gulf States are quietly aligning with Israel The Israel-Hezbollah escalation timeline The conservative foreign policy civil war — Tucker vs. the hawks China and Russia's role in the crisis Campus radicalization and the mainstreaming of anti-Semitism Whether America can avoid another endless war This isn't punditry. This is the history, the military calculus, and the geopolitical architecture that will define the next decade. #VictorDavisHanson #IranWar #Trump #IsraelIran #MiddleEast #WorldWar3 #IranNuclear #Hezbollah #Netanyahu #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #Trump2026 #OilPrices #China #Russia #TuckerCarlson #MegynKelly #AntiSemitism #Israel #MilitaryHistory CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 02:45 War Powers Act Showdown 04:50 Iran's Economy in Freefall 07:45 How Modern Warfare Actually Works 11:11 Will the Iranian Regime Survive? 15:55 The Trump-Netanyahu Leaked Call 19:45 Drone Warfare Is Rewriting the Rules 22:20 Gulf States Quietly Pick a Side 26:00 Europe's Deterrence Is Already Dead 29:00 Anti-Semitism's New Home 33:15 China and Russia: Opportunity or Alliance? 42:50 The Right Is Fracturing on Foreign Policy 50:15 How the Middle East Captured American Academia 54:40 The Progressive Media Bubble 59:21 What "Neocon" Actually Means 01:03:40 The Human Rights Hypocrisy Nobody Talks About 01:07:35 Why Trump's Political Comeback Is Bulletproof Learn more about your ad choices.
