Megyn Kelly dissects escalating tensions in the Iran war alongside Trump's mixed signals, political fallout including dismal polls, hawkish figures like Lindsey Graham enjoying Disney amid deployments, anti-Trump protests, and Tiger Woods' latest impairment-related crash.

President Trump posted on Truth Social claiming "great progress" toward ending operations with a "new and more reasonable regime," but warned of obliterating Iran's electric plants, oil wells, Kharg Island, and desalination plants if no deal opens the Strait of Hormuz. This follows reports of Pentagon preparations for weeks of ground raids using special operations and infantry—not a full invasion—amid 50,000 U.S. troops in the region, up 10,000 recently.
