Congressman Michael Baumgartner on Operation Epic Fury and US Strategy

The discussion centers on the Iranian regime's threat to global stability and potential strategies for dealing with it. Congressman Michael Baumgartner, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, draws on his experience in Iraq and Afghanistan to argue that Iran's revolutionary ideology and development of proxy forces necessitate a firm response. He contends that a 10-year timeframe reveals Iran's escalating threat, particularly its ballistic missile capabilities. Baumgartner praises President Trump's Middle East policies, including the elimination of Soleimani and the Abraham Accords, but suggests a need for better communication with the American public. The conversation also touches on China's role in supporting Iran and Russia, and the potential for a broader conflict involving multiple global actors.
