Iran is allegedly setting the stage to expand its war with the United States. This happens as Iran puts a bounty on American troops, and as U.S. President Donald Trump repositions a key aircraft carrier from the Asia-Pacific to help in the conflict.

Meanwhile, Trump announced a cut to military exercises with South Korea and is signaling openness to better ties with North Korea.

We’ll discuss these topics and others in this episode of Crossroads.
