🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump's inner circle is imploding, and the Iran war could be about to get much worse Investigative journalist Max Blumenthal joined me to dissect the extraordinary infighting now tearing through the White House. He argues that the Iran war has triggered a political reckoning, with JD Vance openly acknowledging its electoral cost while Marco Rubio continues defending Trump's decision. And Max believes the battle between Vance and Rubio could define the Republican Party's future. But his biggest warning concerns Admiral Brad Cooper, the head of CENTCOM, who he accuses of pursuing military escalations that could undermine diplomatic efforts to end the war. With new plans to target suspected weapons convoys and expand pressure on Iran, he fears the military could provoke another confrontation just as negotiators search for a way out. Max also believes Netanyahu's growing political vulnerability in Israel could increase pressure for renewed strikes, potentially allowing him to rebuild national unity around another conflict. Meanwhile, Trump faces a fractured MAGA movement, an increasingly hostile political environment and a war that Max believes has already inflicted lasting economic damage. And despite the mounting political fallout, Max sees little evidence that Trump is prepared to fundamentally change course. The extraordinary question now is whether Trump's own administration can stop fighting itself long enough to secure peace, or whether another escalation will drag America deeper into a war its voters have already rejected. @maxblumenthal
