Trump is desperate as Iran war expands, US casualties rise, military runs out of missiles
About this episode
Ben Norton discusses the expanding US war on Iran and the increasing desperation of Donald Trump as casualties rise and military resources dwindle.
The US war on Iran keeps expanding into a regional conflict, as more countries get involved. Reports show that Donald Trump is getting desperate, and he is frantically seeking an off-ramp. Washington announced a "pause" to the fighting, but it lasted just four days. Ben Norton explains the three main reasons why the United States is desperately seeking an exit: one, the Pentagon is running out of missile interceptors; two, the number of casualties among American troops is steadily increasing; and three, Yemen joined the conflict, attacking Saudi oil infrastructure, exacerbating the energy crisis.
