Description:
Lt. Col. Daniel Davis and former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent discuss overnight Iranian medium-range ballistic missile strikes, possibly with cluster munitions, on U.S. bases in Jordan.
Kent says he has not seen confirmed U.S. killed in action from that wave, but argues troops and ships still in range are being used as tripwires. Davis says official casualty language — including “everyone is accounted for” — no longer tells the public who is wounded or dead, and that U.S. personnel have been dispersed into civilian hotels that then become targets.
Trump, speaking on the tarmac, says the United States has knocked out about nine Iranian tankers and that the war will end after the midterms. Kent and Davis both reject waiting until November: Kent warns of pressure toward a tactical nuclear strike on a site such as Pickaxe Mountain; Davis calls that option unworkable and likely to push Iran to a bomb while isolating Washington. They also flag Saudi strikes on the Houthis and reports that Pakistan is weighing involvement under the Mecca Defense Pact. Kent’s close: leave militarily and use sanctions relief; staying in range only boxes the White House into a bigger war.
