The Last Word with Matt Cooper · The Last Word On The US: Iran Says It’s Now In A ‘Full-Scale War’ With US · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

So we'll see what comes out of that. voice-verified

But no, I don't think the president is right when he says that Iran is begging for a peace deal. voice-verified

If they were, they would have by now. voice-verified

Well, the alternative, Matt, would have been for Iran to get a nuclear weapon. voice-verified

I don't think there's any question about that. voice-verified

There is no equanimity here between any negotiators in Iran, any negotiators in Israel, any negotiators in the United States. voice-verified

They were, in my judgment and the judgment of many others, by the way, not just me, on the way to producing a nuclear weapon would have changed everything in the Middle East. voice-verified

Iran with a nuclear weapon would have used it if they wanted to and thought it could achieve their ends. voice-verified

Every other war in which the United States has been involved, Matt, has included ground troops. voice-verified

That's not going to happen before the November election. voice-verified

our cable networks here, that is the wrong way to fight a war. voice-verified

You don't tell people in advance what you're going to do. voice-verified

You just go ahead and do it. voice-verified

But I think the legitimate question from that reporter in the soundbite you played is, okay, what's the plan here? voice-verified

If you're putting out all this stuff, what's the end game? voice-verified

Is it just to open the Strait of Hormuz? voice-verified
