What was said
"It became very clear to us that the administration made these decisions not as part of a big vision and strategy, but as a much more of an instinctive, you know, we did Venezuela, we got Maduro, now let's do this... There was no strategy."
Based on private conversations with administration officials during their US trip, the hosts revealed that the decision to launch military operations against Iran was made instinctively rather than strategically, with officials describing it as riding momentum from the Venezuela success. This revelation calls into question the planning behind Operation Epic Fury and suggests a lack of preparedness for Iran's chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global oil markets.
