Summary

Operation “Epic Fury” is over, according to the United States. The Iran war has now been rebranded “Project Freedom” - though that too is on pause. So far, the $25 billion conflict has delivered plenty of fury but with little clarity. At home, frustration is growing among U.S. voters. Abroad, the situation remains volatile, with Iranian dissidents under pressure and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz still disrupted. President Trump says U.S. operations to free vessels in the Strait are on hold amid signs of a potential peace deal. But he’s also warned that if diplomacy fails, military action will resume “at a much higher level and intensity.” So where does this leave both sides? Piers Morgan is joined by military historian and commentator Victor Davis-Hanson, professor of political science and Golden Narrative Laureate at UAE University, Dr. Roy Casagranda, and Professor Mohammed Marandi from Tehran University to discuss.

0:00.0	The United States has gone rogue. We're actually in war crime land, and we completely failed to do the only thing that was reasonable to take out the Islamic Republic.

0:29.6	I know that you think you can just bark out your instructions to me, as if somehow I'm beholden to the Iranian regime.
0:35.6	But I don't really feel that burning desire to read books
0:39.6	just because Professor Miranda, the chief propagandist for the Iranian regime, tells me to.
0:46.5	Operation Epic Fury is over, the US says. The Iran War Project is now Project Freedom,
0:53.7	although at the time of recording, that's
0:55.1	on pause too. So far, the $25 billion war has caused a lot of epic fury, mostly among US voters,
1:01.5	and not a lot of freedom, especially for Iranian dissidents and ships in the Hormuz Strait.
1:06.5	Today, President Trump said the US operation to free stricken vessels in the strait is on hold
1:11.1	because of positive steps towards a lasting peace deal.
1:14.3	If no deal can be agreed, he says, bombing will return at a much higher level and intensity
1:19.5	than it was before.
1:20.9	It feels a lot more like Operation Groundong Day.
1:23.1	And with that in mind, we're going to do things a bit differently on the show today and
