President Donald Trump warns NATO allies that they need to step up if they want the Strait of Hormuz to open, adding that the United States doesn’t rely on it for oil.

Trump vows "unparalleled firepower" against Iran as U.S. forces continue intercepting Iran’s missiles and drones and striking the sites that manufacture them.

Trump declared the Iranian regime "obliterated," saying the war will wrap up "soon." This comes as the president is escalating pressure for other countries to help the U.S. reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Joining to discuss are our panelists. Chris Eddy is a retired Air Force Brigadier General and retired FBI intelligence manager. Ricoh Danielson is a national security expert and U.S. Army combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan. And Taylor Hathorn is a visiting fellow at the Independent Women’s Center for American Safety and Security.

The commander of the U.S. Central Command says Iran has launched attacks on 12 countries in the Middle East so far.
