In this episode of The Weekend with Michael Brown, Michael breaks down the latest developments in the Middle East, where Israel launched a sustained multi-wave campaign against Iran's missile infrastructure, naval bases, and leadership. The US has suffered minimal casualties, and the Strait of Hormuz has been declared closed by Iran. Michael discusses the potential implications of this operation, including the fate of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, and the impact on global oil prices. He also touches on the role of proxy wars, the US Congress, and the potential for a prolonged conflict.
