In this episode of The Josh Hammer Show, Josh examines the ongoing military campaign against Iran, breaking down the strategic complexities of U.S.-Israel relations and the broader Iranian threat. He reflects on the historical context of American military engagement, the stakes surrounding Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and how recent developments could reshape the geopolitical landscape.
Josh also discusses the celebration of Purim and its symbolic relevance during a moment of heightened tensions in the Middle East.
Later, Mike Doran of the Hudson Institute joins the show to analyze what comes next — both for Iran and for the broader region. Josh is also joined by John Yoo, former Deputy Assistant Attorney General, to discuss the legal authority behind the president’s decision to order the strikes and to address claims from critics who argue the action was unauthorized or unconstitutional.
