Trump Orders Iran Strikes, Iran Hits Back: Fears Grow of a Wider War 6/10/26

A ceasefire broken. The U.S.launched “self-defense strikes” on Iranian air defense and radar sites last evening after a U.S. Apache helicopter was downed Monday near the Strait of Hormuz. The two pilots were rescued. This came after President Trump said the U.S. response “should be very strong, very powerful,” and earlier said talks with Iran were in their “final throes,” possibly concluding in “two or three days” though the status of those negotiations is now unclear.  Sources say U.S. targets included Iranian air defenses and radar installations as part of the retaliation. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iran will not leave any attack "unanswered."Mo Kelly speaks with political analyst John Rothmann about what this escalation means for any potential deal to end Trump’s Iran War. Mark welcomes the authors of ‘Notes of Deception.’ Drs. Merryl Goldberg and Vince Houghton tell the story of a quartet of American musicians that outwitted the KGB. We also consider how much we as consumers really need and how we can benefit our own communities.
