Summary
Sean Hannity examines rising tensions with Iran as the regime escalates threats against the United States and openly chants “Death to America.” Sean is joined by former Marine Kevin Hermening, who was held hostage for 444 days during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, sharing firsthand accounts of captivity, psychological torture, and resilience under extreme conditions. The conversation exposes Iran’s long-standing role as a state sponsor of terrorism and the brutal reality faced by political dissidents, women, and minorities under the regime. Sean explains why history matters now, and why ignoring Iran’s past guarantees future conflict. This is a powerful reminder of the cost of freedom and the courage of those who have paid it.
