What’s Next in Operation Epic Fury and the War With Iran

U.S. and Israeli strikes are pounding Iran as Operation Epic Fury enters a critical new phase. Early-morning assaults Saturday delivered a stunning blow, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and much of Iran's top leadership in a decapitation strike that has sent shock waves across the Middle East. But Tehran isn't backing down, and with every retaliatory strike against U.S. allies, the threat of a full-scale regional war grows. NBC News Senior National Security Correspondent Courtney Kube, NBC News Chief International Correspondent Keir Simmons and Jason Rezaian, the director of press freedom initiatives at The Washington Post, join the pod to break down why this happened now, what President Donald Trump’s strategy is and what the collapse of Iran’s leadership could mean for the Iranian people.
