Piers Morgan Uncensored

President Trump famously waited for the markets to close for the weekend before announcing war on Iran. This weekend he imposed a chilling 48-hour deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or face the total obliteration of its energy facilities.
This morning, with gas heading up and stocks heading down, the President said the strikes were off for at least five days, taking us to up to the closure of the markets on Friday.

Whether we are really any closer to a “total resolution” is extremely unclear. It’s hard to see how Trump can declare any kind of victory right now. The only side crowing about victory will be Iran - and whether the markets like it or not, it’s hard to see how President Trump will settle for that.

Joining Piers Morgan to discuss the latest is former White House communications director and host of The Rest is Politics US Anthony Scaramucci, former White House deputy press secretary, Hogan Gidley, US marine corp veteran turned anti-war protester and Green candidate for Senate, Brian McGinnis, Iran activist and former Canadian lawmaker, Goldie Ghamari, The Economist’s defence editor Shashank Joshi, and Iranian regime supporter Professor Mohammad Marandi.

Israel has launched a ground operation in Lebanon, opening a major second front in its war against Iran and its proxies - raising the stakes in an already volatile region.

While the risks of escalation are enormous, some argue the potential strategic gains for Israel are just as significant: reduced threats from hostile neighbors, stronger ties with Gulf states, and an even more dominant position in the region militarily and politically.

As the conflict intensifies, questions are mounting over the role of the United States. President Donald Trump, who campaigned on a promise of peace, now faces criticism for backing a costly and controversial war - one that could carry serious political consequences at home.

At the same time, divisions are growing across political and media circles, with prominent voices fiercely debating the motivations behind the war and the extent to which U.S. interests align with Israel’s objectives.

Piers Morgan is joined by political scientist Professor John Mearsheimer for his analysis on the conflict.

Piers then speaks to activist Norman Finkelstein and retired lieutenant colonel and IDF international spokesman Jonathan Conricus.

Joe Kent - a Gold Star husband, retired Green Beret, and veteran of 11 combat tours - has dramatically resigned as the U.S.’s top counterterrorism official, just days after being appointed by President Donald Trump.

In a statement, Kent said he could not support the ongoing war in Iran, arguing the country posed no imminent threat and claiming the conflict was driven by pressure from Israel and its allies. His remarks have sparked fierce backlash, with prominent conservative voices calling for scrutiny of his actions.

Trump has since distanced himself from Kent, publicly criticizing his judgment. The fallout highlights growing divisions within the conservative movement over the war.

Meanwhile, tensions continue to rise globally, with Trump now warning NATO allies over the Strait of Hormuz and even threatening to reconsider U.S. involvement in the alliance.

Piers Morgan is joined by his panel of retired US army officer and commanding general, Ben Hodges, former UK ambassador to the Islamic Republic of Iran, Sir Richard Dalton, founder and CEO of The Young Turks, Cenk Uygur and co-host of The Verdict With Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson.

Piers is also joined by founder of Blaze Media, Glenn Beck, Iranian activist Masih Alinejad and former Iran women's soccer player, Shiva Amini, who fled the country after being photographed playing without a hijab.

As conflict escalates, concerns over the unintended consequences of war are taking center stage. From rising costs in both lives and resources to rapidly shifting alliances, the situation is becoming increasingly unpredictable.

President Donald Trump, who dismissed key allies, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is now calling on the UK and NATO to help secure the Strait of Hormuz - warning of serious consequences if they fail to act.

Meanwhile, geopolitical contradictions are mounting. Iran is strengthening ties with China and India to secure oil exports, while the U.S. deploys costly military assets against significantly cheaper threats. In another twist, Washington D.C is now seeking drone support from Ukraine after previously rejecting similar cooperation.

With no clear resolution in sight, the conflict raises a critical question: as the U.S. and its allies struggle to define victory, is Iran’s primary objective of regime survival quietly being achieved?

Piers Morgan is joined by panel guest; host of the Max Afterburner military analysis channel and a former US Air Force combat pilot, Ryan Bodenheimer, international security and counterterrorism expert Dr. Max Abrahms and Egyptian journalist and commentator on Middle Eastern affairs Rahma Zein.

Special guests also include Iranian expat to the UK; chairman of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, Massoud Shadjareh, political scientist Professor Robert Pape and president of the Eurasia Group, Ian Bremmer to discuss.

As war dominates headlines, the political fallout in Washington is growing. With the U.S. reportedly spending billions on the conflict while many voters remain focused on the economy, the situation could have serious consequences for President Donald Trump ahead of the midterm elections.

Trump, who returned to the White House promising a “peace ticket,” now faces criticism from some supporters who believe that pledge has been broken. At the same time, a visible divide is emerging within conservative media, with figures like Lindsey Graham and Mark Levin strongly backing the war effort, while Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson have voiced opposition.

Rumours and speculation surrounding Tucker Carlson have circulated online, though Axios reports there is no CIA investigation into the commentator. Meanwhile, debates over U.S. involvement, support for Israel, and accusations of antisemitism continue to fuel tensions.
For many Americans watching events unfold, both the war and the political conflict surrounding it show little sign of slowing down.

Piers Morgan is joined by former Miss California and Trump ally, Carrie Prejean Boller to discuss her removal from the Religious Liberty Commission.

Later on Uncensored, Michael Knowles, host of the Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles Show, historian and political scientist Professor Roy Casagranda, former Republican now running for Congress as a Democrat in New York, George Conway and PragerU commentator Shabbos Kestenbaum joins the panel to debate.

The conversation then turns to Bassem Youssef, who calls out Ben Shapiro for a debate.
