Trump’s foggy war

Veteran Pentagon journalist Nancy Youssef on covering the Iran war and Trump’s Pentagon

If you didn’t catch my Substack Live with Nancy Youssef, here is the recording.

Nancy has covered wars in the Middle East for two decades. While she brings encyclopedic knowledge of the region and the U.S. military from her years at the Pentagon, she notes that the war in Iran is unlike any she has covered - in large part because of the Trump administration’s tight control over information coming out of the military. Still, her perspective is nuanced, sober, and essential.

There is simply too much happening in real time - including a possible two week ceasefire - to fully make sense of it in any credible way tonight.

Join me tomorrow 9am ET for a special live conversation with Ambassador John Bolton, former National Security Adviser during President Trump’s first term.

Ambassador Bolton is as hawkish on Iran as they come and a longtime proponent of regime change. Yet he has serious concerns about the direction and conduct of this war.

You won’t want to miss it.
