NightSide With Dan Rea

President Trump is NOT happy with either Israel or Iran after both countries appear to break a ceasefire, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Days after the U.S. struck Iranian nuclear facilities, the President was asked what he thought about the teetering ceasefire between the two middle eastern countries, saying, “We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f--- they're doing.” We discussed the fragile conflict in the Middle East as President Trump seems to be losing his patience with even ally Israel!

Over the weekend, President Trump gave the okay to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, thus joining Israel in the conflict against Iran. Specifically, the U.S. targeted Fordow, a uranium enrichment facility deep inside a remote mountain in Iran, and facilities at Natanz and Isfahan. Monday, in retaliation, Iran launched missiles at a U.S. base, Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar. House Speaker Mike Johnson, who received a classified briefing Monday morning, told reporters that the U.S. anticipated Iran's reprisal. Qatar's Ministry of Defense relayed a statement that the base’s air defense system intercepted the missiles towards the base and no deaths or injuries were reported. Now that the U.S. is engaged in warfare towards Iran, do you think we’re on our way to WWIII? We discussed the latest in the U.S. conflict with Iran.
