About this episode

Sean Hannity discusses the situation in Iran with Ambassador Nathan Sales and takes listener calls on related topics.

In the final hour, Sean Hannity continues his focus on Iran and speaks with Ambassador Nathan Sales about the U.S. Navy escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz, the risks of Iranian retaliation, and the leverage created by economic pressure. Sales explains that Iran’s divided leadership, shrinking oil revenue, and weakening economy could force the regime toward negotiation, but he warns that the situation remains fluid and dangerous. Hannity also takes listener calls on energy prices, Iranian resistance, and whether the Iranian people can realistically challenge the regime. Later, the hour shifts to domestic politics, with Hannity criticizing wealth taxes, high-tax states, New York leadership, Seattle’s political direction, and the continued migration of wealthy individuals and businesses to Florida.
