On today’s show, Josh breaks down what “winning” in Iran could look like and what he believes the endgame of the current conflict may ultimately be. He discusses the ongoing strikes across the region, the continued missile attacks launched by Iran, and how the conflict is expanding as more countries become involved. Josh explains why, in his view, regime change in Iran may be desirable but is not necessarily required for the United States to declare victory. Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, Executive Director of Israel365 Action and a columnist for The Jerusalem Post, joins the show from Israel to share his perspective and describe what life is like on the ground as the strikes against Iran continue. Josh also responds to criticism from some voices on the right — including Tucker Carlson — who have blamed Israel for the conflict, explaining why he believes those arguments risk fueling anti-Semitic sentiment. To close the show, Josh discusses the heated moments during a Capitol Hill hearing Wednesday regarding the fraud in Minnesota and why he believes the issue points to a broader problem facing the country.

A Pakistani man accused of plotting to assassinate Donald Trump told jurors Wednesday that he did not willingly work with Iran’s elite military force and only participated in the alleged plan to protect his family. Prosecutors say the suspect attempted to recruit people inside the United States to carry out attacks against Trump and other American political figures. According to the Justice Department, the plot was allegedly linked to Iran’s retaliation for the U.S. killing of Qassem Soleimani in 2020. The defendant testified that he felt pressured to cooperate with members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, claiming he feared for the safety of relatives living in Tehran. Federal prosecutors rejected that explanation, telling the court there is no evidence the suspect acted under coercion. They argue the plan was deliberate and that the defendant actively sought help in the United States to carry it out. The trial continues as tensions between the U.S. and Iran remain high following the latest escalation in the region.

The U.S. military says its assault on Iran is moving faster than expected, according to the top American commander in the Middle East. U.S. Central Command leader Admiral Brad Cooper said early operations in the campaign — known as Operation Epic Fury — have already degraded Iran’s military capabilities. He said Iran’s ability to strike U.S. forces and allies is declining while American combat power in the region continues to grow. According to Cooper, more than 2,000 Iranian targets have been hit so far, including missile sites, air defense systems and military infrastructure. He also said Iran’s navy has lost operational vessels on key waterways after multiple ships were destroyed. The admiral noted that the first 24 hours of the operation were nearly double the scale of the opening day of the 2003 Iraq War’s “shock and awe” campaign. Around 50,000 U.S. troops are currently involved, with additional capabilities expected to arrive in the region. Despite the early gains, the conflict continues to escalate, with Iranian missile attacks targeting Israel and locations across the Gulf as the war enters its second week.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the United States and several Middle Eastern allies are looking to Ukraine for help countering Iran’s Shahed drones. Zelenskyy says multiple countries — including the U.S. — have approached Ukraine about sharing its experience defending against the Iranian-made drones. In recent days, he says he has spoken with leaders in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait about possible cooperation. Russia has launched tens of thousands of Shahed drones at Ukraine since its full-scale invasion more than four years ago, giving Ukrainian forces extensive experience tracking and intercepting the weapons. Iran has recently deployed the same type of drones in response to joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets, raising concerns about their wider use across the Middle East conflict.

Iran launched a new wave of missile attacks across the Middle East Thursday as the war entered its sixth day, with air raid sirens sounding in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Israel said its air defense systems were working to intercept multiple incoming missiles while its military continued strikes against targets in Iran and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon. The escalation comes after a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean, killing dozens of sailors. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned the United States would “bitterly regret” the attack. In a rare and fiery statement broadcast on Iranian state television, senior cleric Ayatollah Abdollah Javadi Amoli called for violence, declaring: “Fight the oppressive America… Trump’s blood is on my shoulders.” The remarks mark one of the most extreme public calls for retaliation yet as tensions between Iran, Israel and the United States continue to escalate.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar joins The Erin Molan Show in an exclusive wartime interview to discuss Iran, Hezbollah, regime change and what “victory” actually means for Israel. In this wide-ranging and urgent conversation, Sa’ar addresses: • Whether Israel is prepared to pay the ultimate price • His daughter’s apartment being struck by a missile • Civilian casualties in Beit Shemesh • Iran as “the head of the snake” • Regime change in Tehran • Coordination with the United States • Vladimir Putin’s response • Europe’s private vs public stance • The future of Hezbollah and Lebanon Sa’ar makes clear that Israel’s objective is long-term removal of existential threats — and says the Iranian regime “has no right to exist.” This is a serious geopolitical moment.
