Today's What Gets Iran to Yield: Talks, Blockade, Boots, or Bombs?
About this episode
Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: What gets Iran to yield: talks, blockade, bombs, or boots?
Michael examines the collapse of the Iran ceasefire, renewed U.S. military strikes, escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, and the difficult choices facing American policymakers. Are additional airstrikes enough, or has the conflict reached the point where only a naval blockade—or even ground forces—could change Iran's calculus? Drawing on polling, military history, and the strategic realities of the region, Michael weighs the costs, risks, and political consequences of every option. Listen here, and then vote - and be sure to catch an upcoming conversation with Admiral James Stavridis on this podcast later today! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
