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.
