I'm John Batchel. I welcome my colleague and friend and mentor Gregory Copley, Defense and Foreign Affairs,

the author of the new story of constitutional monarchy, noble state. Our King Charles report

is especially laden with troubles in Mother Britain, but we begin off the shores of Iran.

The headline in the Financial Times, London reporting, crisis of his own making,

referring to President Trump, Donald Trump weighs another war with Iran. Subhead, the U.S.

military buildup was designed to coerce Tehran, but has failed. So says the front page of the Financial Times. Gregory, a very good

evening to you. The fleet is in place. Gerald Ford has moved into the theater. The warplanes

include bomb carriers, bomb trucks, they're called the F-15s. They're all manner of aircraft floating around Iran right now.

Iran was not able to stop the Israeli or American aid of the summer of 25.

There's no reason to believe it's improved, except we do have an odd headline in London later in the day. China to send Iran aircraft carrier

killing missiles, supersonic weapons which can zigzag in moments before impact, posing

risk to U.S. forces. Well, it is a war. So I ask you, the Mullahs versus the fleet.

I've been told that the mullers do not believe they can win what they want at the negotiating table,

though they meeting it on Thursday of this week.

They won a JCPOA plus.

I'm told that the mullers believe they can manage the war.

What is your measure of what the U.S. has to gain in the event of combat,

and what is it that Iran has to gain in the event of combat?

Good evening, too.

Good evening, John.

Well, I think we're looking at the fog of media.

The F.T. seems to be trying to lead the conversation because of its strongly anti-Trump sentiment. But the reality is, yes, of course, President Trump has gone in there to solve a problem, but it's not exactly a war of his own making.
