Will the Iranian War end soon? S5E31 03.16.2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today, our question is from Richard from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who writes, So Trump says the war in Iran will end soon. I believe he is feeling the heat. This wasn’t as easy as he thought, go figure. Iran has selected the former ayatollah's son to be the new supreme leader. By all accounts, someone who is even worse than his father, if that is even possible. Trump says that it is unacceptable, but it looks like there is little he can do about it. Iran is now hitting shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, further disrupting energy shipping. So, let's say Trump does a TACO. Declares victory, which anyone with a brain knows is bullshit, and just leaves. What would this mean to the dynamics of the war? Do you think Israel would continue fighting? Will some other nation need to step in and stop the blockade of the Strait? Who might that be? And what happens to the Iranian people? I think they will be left off worse than before this all started. Has Trump’s only success been to destabilize the Middle East so badly that it’ll take decades to repair the damage? Can the damage be repaired? If you think it can, what would it take, and who would need to take the lead?
