Chapter 1: What recent military actions has the Pentagon taken regarding Iran?
Pentagon is deploying 3,000 more troops to the Middle East, even as the U.S. sends a peace proposal to the Iranian regime. Here at home, gas prices continue to rise, and a new poll shows that 60% of Americans think Donald Trump has gone too far in waging war against Iran. And brand new reporting shows that Donald Trump's grasp of how the war is going is based on clips of, quote, stuff blowing up.
The military mission continues unabated.
From the outset, President Trump and the Department of War estimated it would take approximately four to six weeks to achieve this critical mission. Twenty-five days in, the greatest military the world has ever known is ahead of schedule and performing exceptionally.
Day by day, the Iranian regime is being crippled, and their ability to threaten the United States and our allies is being significantly weakened. Their ambitions of building a nuclear weapon have also been crushed to an even greater degree than they were in Operation Midnight Hammer in June 2025.
That's why you're beginning to see the regime look for an exit ramp. They recognize they are being crushed, their ability to attack American and ally forces, as well as their ability to defend their own territory is dwindling literally hour by hour.
Following President Trump's powerful threat on Saturday evening, it was made clear to the United States that Iran wanted to talk.
President Trump is willing to listen.
As President Trump announced on Monday, the United States has been engaged over the last three days in productive conversations, which led the president to temporarily instruct the Department of War to postpone planned strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure only. First of all, I think we've said this countless times. Iran has been here for millennia.
The people in this region have been here for millennia. Nobody's going anywhere.

Chapter 2: How is President Trump's strategy evolving in response to the Iranian conflict?
Total annihilation is not an option. No one, peoples or country will disappear from existence by the wish or whim of any political actor. We will live next to each other. We will be neighbors for the future of humankind and we have to find ways of living next to each other. This is a very difficult moment. Our country has been attacked. Our sovereignty has been attacked.
We have seen the effects on our economy, on the daily lives of people living here, and we don't take it lightly, and we don't see the attacks on our sovereignty as something that we can live with. Now, that said, obviously, living next to 90 million people in Iran, a proud people that we have shared the Gulf with for, as I said, millennia, will continue. And we will have to find a way past this.
This is a very difficult moment, but we will find our way out of it. And I have to say here that our message was always to Iran The brotherly relationship, the neighborly relationship between our peoples should take paramount over any other political consideration.
The fact that they decided to attack our country like this does not show good neighborly relations or the essence of that brotherly relationship, but it is something that we don't find any alternative to in our region. They're a self-contained unit. They've got aviation assets. They've got helicopter assets. They've got 2,500 Marines on each one of the ARGs.
And they can open up the straits out there and occupy that ground. Look, I'm a big believer in putting boots on the ground, not necessarily into Iran. double down on its timeline for the war in Iran, reiterating that operations should last approximately four to six weeks.
But that comes as sources tell CNN that around a thousand soldiers with the 82nd Airborne Division are preparing to deploy to the Middle East. That's on top of the 4,500 Marines and sailors already ordered to the region. These troop movements are happening as the Trump administration reaches out for a diplomatic solution.
Senior officials say a meeting aimed at ending the war could take place in Pakistan as early as this weekend. What's your read on this? Because the story is very different depending on who's speaking about whether there are actually negotiations or really how fulsome these negotiations are.
Yeah, Brianna, who's on first, what's on second? I mean, I think we could come up with a lot of quirky ways to describe it. But at the end of the day, what we're seeing is now diplomatic activity, and that's a good thing. The pot has been stirred. The international players who are affected by, for example, the energy crisis, they are getting involved.
Still waiting to see where China is on this, because ultimately they're going to be the one that I believe can impact Iran the most. They have the most to lose as well with the ongoing supply glut. So this is good, but there has to be a bit of a strategy to this as well, right? And there needs to be some kind of vision for what we're trying to achieve. And it needs to be realistic as well.

Chapter 3: What significant threats does the Iranian regime currently face?
Is the U.S. providing support at this point for Israel's ongoing offensive in Lebanon? And is the President concerned that right now there are more than a million people who've been displaced and potentially could be for a significant amount of time?
That's not something I'm in a position to comment on for the first question. To the second question, of course, that's something that would concern the president. I think that's why he's again quickly moving to eliminate the threat of the Iranian regime in the Middle East, including weakening their proxies like Hezbollah, who have terrorized Lebanon for far too long.
And I know that the president wants to see this again move as quickly as possible as we can over the course of the next couple of weeks here.
Leverage the power, the strength is on our side, but it doesn't mean that we have complete control of it either.
We heard the press secretary also sort of expressed skepticism over the 15-point plan that the U.S. reportedly presented to Iran, saying that some of it is accurate, some of it is not. She wouldn't distinguish what was. But based on the 15 points, sources say that the U.S.
wants to limit Tehran's defensive capabilities, a cessation of support for proxies, and acknowledgement of Israel's right to exist. Which of those do you think Iran is most likely to agree with? I don't think they're ready to agree with anything, to be honest with you.
I mean, as it is, they're denying that talks are happening because they're trying to cater to their population who wants them to fight to the end. But that said, the president put out terms to end the war a couple of weeks ago, and those terms included things like reparations, all U.S. military presence to leave, the prosecution and extradition of media personalities, by the way, who've been
anti-regime. That's you and I, by the way, we're going to that's going to happen to us and things like that. So they're definitely not going to be recognizing Israel and and agreeing to anything. When you're seeing this addition of troops, the 82nd Airborne, the Marines and others that you already see deployed in the region to keep the pressure up on Iran.
Does that make sense to you, even as we're not getting really big answers on this from the White House?

Chapter 4: What diplomatic negotiations are happening between the U.S. and Iran?
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? Mega media.
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. It's Wednesday, 25 March, Year of Our Lord 2026. We are live in CPAC.
with Jack Posobiec and Mo Bannon helping us anchor today as we're going to take off in a little while and be in CPAC late tonight for the weekend, for Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Jack Posobiec, thank you so much for doing this, getting in today a little bit early. Mo, thank you for doing it. First off, Jack, we got Berkham.
The next couple of days is going to be intense Real America voice stars and others. All the stars of CPAC are going to join us as we're going to have absolutely incredible, incredible, incredible shows in that magnificent studio.
Poso, the war and the rumors of war, things are converging on this weekend, right, as President Trump tries to find a solution, a diplomatic solution, a peaceful solution. But President Trump said, hey, the clock's ticking, you've got five days. After that, you know, I don't know what's going to happen. Your thoughts, sir?
We have work to do now. We're going to quickly work through some CPAC resolutions, which will make an impact here, but also...
Okay, we're going to get, we're going to get, this is why we do the, this is why we do the shakedown cruise on Wednesday afternoon. Normally in the past, we've done a force multiplier, but because of previous commitments, we couldn't do it today. Okay, folks. particularly those at home and the live audience at CPAC. Today, another intense day. President Trump trying to find a solution.
Markets in turmoil. The Israelis have basically announced, the Israeli military has said, hey, look, if there's going to be some time limit on this, if there's going to be some time check on this, we are absolutely going to go in and make sure that we've done a command and control operation. Turn to dust.

Chapter 5: How are troop movements affecting the U.S. military strategy in the Middle East?
This was all the Obama administration's Justice Department allowed these oligarchs. And these oligarchs have been so arrogant So dismissive of parents and all the problems they've caused. So dismissive. Well, they got in front. Finally, these cases got in front of a couple of juries, just average Americans. And the jury spoke and they spoke quickly.
This is going to lead to an avalanche of lawsuits. Of course, this is going to be highly negotiated. Congress is going to get involved to probably go up to the Supreme Court. But this is also going to inform. the artificial intelligence issues, and they have been nothing but arrogant to date.
Remember, twice, because you were the tip of the spear in this fight, twice they tried to slip in full amnesty for everything they want to do. No controls, whatever, no regulations, no framework, even our anti-regulation, and I'm a deconstruct the administrative state. person, individual, but they have fought it and they've been so arrogant about fighting it. So much more, this is why
This is one of the reasons that Joe Allen has now joined and is a big part of Humans First, all these other groups, the Alliance, all of it. This fight now is really, really, really intense. And the courts, the little guy is saying, hey, something has to be done here.
We also have, before I bolt and turn this over to Poso and Captain Bannon, yes, Save America Act, but particularly ICE, airports, and eventually, as it's going to happen, folks, in the 2026 midterm elections at the voting booth. Let's go ahead and play. ICE does not have a good reputation around the country. It's not popular. Most people don't like it.
Half of the country wants the entire organization to be abolished. And so you see ICE at the airport and you worry that they're doing stuff like this. And then you see evidence they're doing stuff like this.
Isn't that a political, isn't that a backfire to have so many different Americans from all over the country interact and have ICE be that visible to them in this moment of heightened tension at airports especially?
Right. One would think that because public opinion has been so clear about how Americans feel about ICE, that you would not want to have sort of armed men at an airport, not assisting, by the way.
But I think what's even more frightening is that many people see this as a dry run for how this administration wants to run the elections in 2026, because they know that their their policies aren't popular. And they know that because the natural sort of process of American democracy, the party in power, especially in unified government, loses seats. Steve Bannon. has said that. Yes, exactly.
