Summary

President Trump famously waited for the markets to close for the weekend before announcing war on Iran. This weekend he imposed a chilling 48-hour deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or face the total obliteration of its energy facilities. This morning, with gas heading up and stocks heading down, the President said the strikes were off for at least five days, taking us to up to the closure of the markets on Friday. Whether we are really any closer to a “total resolution” is extremely unclear. It’s hard to see how Trump can declare any kind of victory right now. The only side crowing about victory will be Iran - and whether the markets like it or not, it’s hard to see how President Trump will settle for that. Joining Piers Morgan to discuss the latest is former White House communications director and host of The Rest is Politics US Anthony Scaramucci, former White House deputy press secretary, Hogan Gidley, US marine corp veteran turned anti-war protester and Green candidate for Senate, Brian McGinnis, Iran activist and former Canadian lawmaker, Goldie Ghamari, The Economist’s defence editor Shashank Joshi, and Iranian regime supporter Professor Mohammad Marandi.
