The Strait of Hormuz is a potential minefield—literally. I joined Laura Coates on @cnn.com last night to discuss why Iran’s 5,000-mine stockpile poses a 'hellscape' risk to the global economy and why a mission to secure enriched uranium would be a massive roll of the dice. youtu.be/f7I2O49S8iM
"You break it, you buy it." That old truism may be applicable in Iran. With Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead and his son in power, does the U.S. have to stick around until Iran stabilizes, or can we leave the country in its current state? Adm. James Stavridis answers.

Regime change in Iran? We don't know yet. Here's how I see the odds — and none of the paths are easy. From my discussion on
@CNN.com this morning.https://youtu.be/H3jPYRPhPNM

Just on @CNN.com with Fareed Zakaria breaking down the Iran strikes and discussing what to watch for next.https://youtu.be/TVM4K0iCH5Y
As both the US and Israel expend hundreds of precision weapons-- from JDAMs to Tomahawks to Patriots--it is time to start focusing on logistics. How deep are the stockpiles? In wars, the true professionals are ultimately the logisticians.
The ultimate question will be whether the Iranian people come into the streets to overthrow their government. But will it be a repeat of Tiananmen Square in Beijing or the French revolution? We don't know yet, but so much depends on them.

Just on @cnn.com w/ Wolf Blitzer: Why did the U.S. & Israel strike Iran now? And what comes next? Sun Tzu wrote 'when on death ground, fight.' Iran may be there. Full interview below youtu.be/n5HHlie4TLg?...
My thoughts today are with the brave men and women of the U.S. military who are in harm's way - and with the people of Iran who deserve much better than the oppression they have lived under for decades. For more of my take --tune in to @cnn.com throughout the day.
Are we heading for another "Midnight Hammer" in Iran? I told @jimsciutto.bsky.social on @cnn.com International the chances are high for limited strikes within the next week if Geneva talks remain stalled. youtu.be/jNT2LFPMaBM
On @cnn.com with Wolf Blitzer I discuss why mission clarity matters if the US strikes Iran -- and what the allies want re Ukraine. youtu.be/OUc6om-ylyM
My latest in @opinion.bloomberg.com If diplomacy with Iran fails, what are the real military options? www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
This is a powerful example of the cost these kinds of open-ended operations put on our armed forces. But I hope the crew's morale remains high knowing how much their country depends on them. www.wsj.com/us-news/miss...
Non-kinetic, limited strikes, or "going big"? I break down some of the military paths the U.S. could take with Iran in discussions with @smerconish.bsky.social and David Sanger on @cnn.com youtu.be/bHV2EeUFShg

Joined John Bernman on @cnn.com to discuss Secretary Rubio's Munich speech and the "Greenland moment" in Europe. The US has deep roots with our allies, but tone and policy differences are testing the transatlantic alliance. youtu.be/yOu83qb9MwU
This is sad but not unexpected, particularly given the events surrounding Greenland and the pullback from military support to Ukraine. We have work to do if we are going to maintain @NATO as a viable Alliance www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
