President Donald Trump called off a threatened massive attack on Iran after Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other Gulf nations requested restraint as negotiations resumed. On today’s The Newsmax Daily, host Tony Marino examines whether Trump’s “locked and loaded” warning strengthened America’s negotiating position—or allowed the Iranian regime to delay once again.
Former Trump foreign policy adviser Walid Phares, former Under Secretary of Defense Robert Wilkie and retired Brigadier General Blaine Holt discuss the dangers of trusting Tehran, the possible targets of a future strike and the global economic consequences of damaging Iran’s critical energy infrastructure. The episode also examines the Trump administration’s Gaza agreement and the difficult task of verifying Hamas’ promised disarmament.
Then, former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield responds to Dr. Anthony Fauci invoking the Fifth Amendment 111 times during his Senate appearance. Constitutional law professor Alan Dershowitz explains why Fauci retained that constitutional right despite his presidential pardon—and argues that granting him immunity may be Congress’ best opportunity to obtain the full truth.
Plus, Newsmax correspondent Andrew Craft reports from Detroit on the increasingly bitter Michigan Democratic Senate primary between Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed.
