STREAMING THE MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW 33-16-20261945 SHAH PAHLEVI AND ELEANOR ROOSEVELTIn this transcript from The John Bachelor Show, host John Bachelor and analysts Bill Roggio and Husain Haqqani discuss a widening conflict with Iran that has severely disrupted global commerce and the Strait of Hormuz. The experts critique the Trump administration's strategy, noting that the lack of international coalition-building has left the United States isolated as traditional allies like Britain and various European powers resist joining the military effort. Iran's retaliatory strikes on shipping and regional infrastructure have caused oil prices to surge, creating an economic crisis that disproportionately threatens energy-dependent nations in Asia and Europe. The participants observe that the initial American expectations for a short war and rapid regime change appear to have been a significant miscalculation. Ultimately, the discussion suggests that without a clear exit strategy or a viable internal resistance, the U.S. remains locked in a costly war of attrition with global economic consequences.
