Summary

As conflict escalates, concerns over the unintended consequences of war are taking center stage. From rising costs in both lives and resources to rapidly shifting alliances, the situation is becoming increasingly unpredictable. President Donald Trump, who dismissed key allies, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is now calling on the UK and NATO to help secure the Strait of Hormuz - warning of serious consequences if they fail to act. Meanwhile, geopolitical contradictions are mounting. Iran is strengthening ties with China and India to secure oil exports, while the U.S. deploys costly military assets against significantly cheaper threats. In another twist, Washington D.C is now seeking drone support from Ukraine after previously rejecting similar cooperation. With no clear resolution in sight, the conflict raises a critical question: as the U.S. and its allies struggle to define victory, is Iran’s primary objective of regime survival quietly being achieved? Piers Morgan is joined by panel guest; host of the Max Afterburner military analysis channel and a former US Air Force combat pilot, Ryan Bodenheimer, international security and counterterrorism expert Dr. Max Abrahms and Egyptian journalist and commentator on Middle Eastern affairs Rahma Zein. Special guests also include Iranian expat to the UK; chairman of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, Massoud Shadjareh, political scientist Professor Robert Pape and president of the Eurasia Group, Ian Bremmer to discuss.

This is a catastrophic failure.

The United States has substantially reduced Iranian military capability.

This has been the consistent action of Israel because they don't target they destroy.

Some might think if you care that much about what's happening on the streets in Tehran,

0:43.3

you might want to go and do the same thing for the people of Tehran on the streets there.

0:47.3

You do here.

0:48.3

I find it very offensive.

0:50.3

Okay, look, you find my question offensive and I find your support for the Iranian regime

0:55.7

equally offensive, if not more so. So we're both going to have to end this interview, offended.

One of the single biggest arguments against war, besides the cost in dollars and in lies,

1:07.4

is the chaos of unintended consequences. Big changes happen fast. And sometimes things are never the

1:13.3

same again. President Trump was quick to dismiss America's allies, none more so than Keir Stama and the UK,

1:20.4

by saying he didn't need our help. He's now demanding help from the UK and NATO to help secure

Australia for Moose, warning the alliance faces a very bad future if it doesn't comply.

1:32.3

Now it would have been nice as they said to the Prime Minister of the UK

though it was reluctant to put his two aircraft carriers into Pard's way.

That would be two weeks ago. And as soon as we demolished, essentially,
