Trump Reveals REAL REASON He Caved To Iran! w/ Glenn Greenwald
6/19/20261 hr
Jimmy and guest Glenn Greenwald argue that President Trump effectively acknowledged economic pressure—not military success—as the primary reason for ending the conflict with Iran, pointing to the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz and concerns about global oil supplies. They contend that Iran possessed significant leverage through its ability to disrupt energy markets and potentially threaten regional oil and gas infrastructure, making a prolonged conflict economically unsustainable.
Greenwald argues that Trump was misled by advisers and Israeli officials who allegedly predicted a quick collapse of the Iranian government, while underestimating Iran's military capabilities, geography, and long-term preparation for conflict. Dore concludes that Trump was "petrified of what he was about to unleash on the world," realized the war as a costly mistake and became increasingly eager to reach a settlement.
Plus segments on Trump suggesting Israel lay off Lebanon and let Syria handle Hezbollah, JD Vance revealing the poison pill likely to undermine the Iran deal, the latest research into a COVID vaccine-cancer connection and the coming war between Europe and Russia.
Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Senator Ron Johnson and Chris Hedges!

Trump admitted, uh, today the real reason why he ended the war, and it's what, exactly what we've been saying here at this show, is that Trump doesn't have any cards to play, that Iran actually has all the cards to play, because we found out how important the Strait of Hormuz was and the fact that they can control it whenever they feel like it. So here he is admitting it.
