Trump's Iran War, his Russia problem, and a warning from Joe Rogan

In news about Iran, absolutely nothing good happened.

First, we get the news that the Pentagon increases the number of U.S. casualties.

They have quietly raised the number of those who have died and those who have been wounded.

The number of dead has been increased to 21, up from 18.

And then the number of wounded is now at 865 wounded.

865.

So, that news happened.

At the same time, you've got Iran, who is increasingly targeting more of the oil tankers that are moving through.

Since the last episode, there has been an increase in the number of strikes, and the number of ships attacked... is now at the worst level since the start of the war.

There have been 24 of them targeted in the past two weeks.

There were six on Sunday alone.

And as one analyst mentioned, if you assume about 20 to 25 daily transits as of Sunday, the hit rate was about 25%.

25%.

Not a great thing.

At the same time, you had the attack in Saudi Arabia, where the Houthis, who are obviously backed by Iran, they are the rebel group in Yemen, they have struck Saudi Arabia in a major attack against the airport.

12 killed, more than 300 injured.

I mean, those are big numbers.

It was the deadliest attack on a Gulf Arab country since the war with Iran began in February.

The airport had to close.

Saudi Arabia was just embarrassed.

Couldn't have been worse timing for them.

They have a number of various conferences happening right now.

And so, you know, the Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman obviously has ambitions to turn Saudi Arabia into this global travel and business hub.

Had major international events planned for the coming weeks.

And their capital city international airport.
