"What should I call it? What exactly should I call exactly what's transpiring. I thought of this. And by the way Meg is referencing today's poll question. So let's put it on the screen and I'll defend it. I'm the one who wrote it and I had to think about the word choice. When will the blank in Iran, and Meg would have me use some descriptor other than war. It's a war!"
"Operation Epic Fury has consisted of multiple major strikes by the U.S. and Israel against Iran. The strikes have taken out a number of high-ranking government officials, including the country's supreme leader. An Iranian drone also took the lives of six U.S. service members following the U.S. and Israel strikes."
"According to a report this week from NBC News, citing multiple current and former officials, President Donald Trump has privately shown serious interest in deploying ground troops to Iran. He's also claimed the mission will only take four to six weeks and announced on Saturday that the country will be hit very hard."
Michael Smerconish responded to viewer criticism about his characterization of U.S. and Israeli military strikes against Iran as a war. The viewer, Meg, accused Smerconish of running propaganda for the Democratic National Committee by using the term war instead of military action. Smerconish pushed back, arguing that the extensive nature of the operations—including multiple major strikes, deaths of high-ranking Iranian officials, and Iranian retaliation that killed six U.S. service members—justified calling it a war. He questioned what else to call the ongoing conflict and referenced a poll question about when the situation in Iran would end. Reports indicate President Trump has considered deploying ground troops to Iran and claims the mission will last four to six weeks.
