Episode description
Larry Kudlow and Robert O’Brien discuss the United States' strategy to exert maximum economic and diplomatic pressure on the Iranian regime. The conversation highlights Operation Economic Fury, a plan spearheaded by Scott Bessent to dismantle Iran's financial networks by draining international bank accounts and enforcing a strict maritime blockade. O’Brien argues that internal political fractures and the weakening of proxy groups like Hezbollah have left Iran with no leverage, forcing them into a position where they must eventually submit to American demands.
