Military Expert Bobby Jones Breaks Down the U.S. Strike in Iran

Trump is, of course, claiming success, but Iran says there will be “everlasting consequences” for the U.S. bombing their country on Saturday.

On a special Sunday report on Lincoln Square, retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones — the host of Anchor Watch — breaks down why Trump decided to order strikes now and what the global implications are.

“So when you guys are looking at what happened last night, there were three things that jumped out immediately,” Bobby tells Lincoln Square Executive Editor Susan J. Demas. “The operational piece, which is what Trump and [Defense Secretary Pete] Hegseth and everybody loves talking about. There's the optics, which they really don't want to address. And then there's the fallout from all of this that they don't want to touch with a 10-foot pole.”

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has been trying to get U.S. presidents to bomb Iran for years — and he finally found a president willing to do it in Trump. But what happens when Trump, who campaigned as the “peace candidate” and bragged he never started any wars, embroils us in a war with a country of 90 million people? Bobby talks about the split in MAGA World, with isolationists like Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, and Marjorie Taylor Greene breaking with Trump.

And where is Congress, anyway? Trump authorized strikes in Iran without getting congressional approval. Bobby explains how Trump’s action on Saturday different than other actions that other presidents have taken in recent years.
