Trump, Hegseth and a Middle East crisis that shows no signs of stopping
About this episode
The episode discusses the ongoing Middle East crisis, focusing on Trump's past statements and the role of Pete Hegseth in military operations.
The Strait of Hormuz is once more the centre of the Middle East crisis, despite Donald Trump’s previous hasty proclamations of peace and quiet. Iran has accused the US of an “act of piracy” as peace talks hang in the balance. Meanwhile, the spotlight is intensifying on the man leading Trump’s combat operations – the highly-contentious secretary of war, Pete Hegseth.
