After the U.S. and Israel began a “major combat operation” in Iran overnight, retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones was on air with us for almost two hours.
Bobby, who hosts Anchor Watch on Lincoln Square, talked about his years leading troops in the region. He was even stationed in the the U.S. Navy base in Bahrain which Iran struck in retaliation.
“To be completely honest, if I’m going to be very blunt about how I view this, we had a nuclear deal with Iran that was negotiated by Barack Obama, and now we’re here,” Bobby said. “And I honestly believe that the Trump administration said we cannot have this deal negotiated by the Black guy, who he hates with all his passion. They blew up the deal. And now possibly sailors, airmen, soldiers, Marines are now under direct threat.”
You’ll want to hear him break down the history of Iran and the Middle East and what comes next.
And Bobby talked with Lincoln Square Executive Editor Susan J. Demas about Trump’s political motivations. Is he trying to bury reporting about missing pages in the Epstein files with accusations about him and a minor? Is this about his 2020 election loss — because everything is? Would Trump use a war with Iran as an excuse to intervene in the upcoming midterm elections or try to suspend them?
Tune in to get answers from one of the top military experts in the country. And stay with Lincoln Square for more analysis of this breaking story.
