The Israel-Iran conflict is spiraling, and fast. After days of strikes and mounting civilian casualties, tensions in the region are hitting a boiling point. And now, Donald Trump is inserting himself into the chaos, publicly urging people to “immediately evacuate Tehran.” (Helpful? Not really. Alarming? Absolutely.) As the possibility of U.S. involvement grows, we’re asking the real questions: Is this how World War III starts? What’s actually happening on the ground? And how much of this is driven by Trump’s need for distraction after his humiliating parade flop? Join us for a live breakdown of the facts, the fallout, and the frightening implications of one man’s foreign policy by ego. This episode is brought to you by MSI United States.
