The Young Turks take a deep dive with guests Dr. Trita Parsi and Joe Kent into the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran. The discussion centers on Donald Trump's claims of an imminent peace deal and Iranian "pleading," which the experts contrast with the reality of Iran's horizontal escalation strategy in the Strait of Hormuz. They also analyze the critical U.S. missile shortage—revealing that interceptor stockpiles have plummeted from over 4,000 to just 827—and how drone warfare has fundamentally shifted military leverage away from traditional superpowers.
