President Donald Trump says he wants to finish military operations in Iran first, and then regime change in communist Cuba is just a “matter of time.” Meanwhile, the Pentagon says America’s bomber force has struck nearly 200 targets deep inside of Iran in the past 72 hours. And the secretary of war says the United States has “no shortage of munitions.”

The Trump administration is urging U.S. citizens to leave Kuwait and suspending operations at the U.S. Embassy there. This comes after an Iranian drone killed six American service members in Kuwait on Sunday. Joining to discuss the latest developments in the war in Iran are our panelists, Thomas Speciale, senior adviser and director of National Intelligence for the National Counterintelligence and Security Center; Ricoh Danielson, U.S. Army combat veteran and national security expert; and Kate Monroe, retired U.S. Marine Corps intelligence analyst.

The United States and Israel are launching a new wave of strikes on Iran. Meanwhile, what remains of the Islamic regime continues expanding its attacks on more countries across the surrounding region. This comes as the State Department continues its efforts to help Americans return home.

A measure to rein in Trump’s war powers failed in the House of Representatives. Meanwhile, as Operation Epic Fury continues, Ukraine has agreed to offer its anti-drone expertise to the United States and its allies.
