The Poker Game with Iran

from The Rob Carson Show · host Newsmax Podcasts

-The global stage turns into a poker table, with the U.S. holding a “full house” and Iran allegedly bluffing with a hand made of cardboard—meanwhile China sneaks chips onto the table and gets caught mid-deal. -Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer (Ret.) joins to break down the Iran situation, explaining that the U.S. is operating at only a fraction of its capability while steadily increasing pressure through strategic positioning, sanctions, and precision strikes. He describes internal instability within Iran’s leadership, highlights China’s covert involvement, and emphasizes that the U.S. strategy aims to force compliance or regime change without full-scale invasion Today’s podcast is sponsored by : CHAPTER - If you're turning 65 or already on Medicare, call Chapter at 27-MEDICARE for the plan that suits you best.
