Iran Drone Shootdown, Trump's Decision, Casualty Estimates
President Trump initially authorized a military strike against Iran after the shootdown of a U.S. drone but aborted the mission minutes before execution. Trump claimed the decision was based on a report that 150 people would be killed, which he deemed a disproportionate response to the loss of an unmanned aircraft. The hosts analyze the media's reporting of the event and the context of Trump's "Twitter rattling" versus actual military action.
