Summary
<p>Sean Hannity opens the hour by breaking down what he describes as a major turning point in the Iran conflict, with President Trump signaling that Tehran is preparing to give up its 60% enriched uranium and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Hannity argues that the U.S. naval blockade and the success of Operation Epic Fury forced Iran into a corner without dragging America into a forever war. He also revisits his criticism of Pope Leo, defending his view that the world is safer without a nuclear-armed Iran and challenging what he sees as selective moral outrage from religious and political leaders. This hour is a fast-moving mix of Middle East strategy, Trump foreign policy, oil prices, and a fiery faith-and-politics debate.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
