Today on @NextUpHalperin, I take a look at the U.S. conflict with Iran—where recent U.S. and Israeli strikes are yielding tangible tactical gains, but the broader outcome remains unsettled. In my reported monologue, I lay out why reopening the Strait of Hormuz is the immediate imperative, while securing control over Iran’s enriched uranium defines the longer-term stakes. Then, @Freedland joins me to explore how he came to understand American politics from the U.K.—and why Britain so often misreads it—before making the case for diplomacy over war. And @ralphreed reflects on Charlie Kirk’s legacy, what his absence means for the conservative movement, and how he’s sizing up 2026 and 2028.
