Episode description

Tensions between the U.S. and Iran reach a boiling point as Iran refuses to halt its uranium enrichment and reportedly violates multiple nuclear agreements. President Trump signals military preparations while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirms evidence of Iran’s nuclear weapon pursuits.
