Summary
Sean Hannity opens the show by breaking down the failed Iran negotiations, arguing that Tehran arrived with impossible demands on the Strait of Hormuz, frozen assets, reparations, and regional ceasefires that were never going to be accepted. He walks through President Trump’s red lines, the growing focus on a naval blockade, the fate of Iran’s enriched uranium, and why the regime’s leverage is far weaker than its rhetoric suggests. The hour also expands into the global fallout, from oil shipping lanes and U.N. hypocrisy to a sharp clash over Pope Leo’s comments on war, peace, and America’s response to the Iranian threat.
