Ben Shapiro: Iran War

In this episode of The Ben Shapiro Show (Ep. 2384), host Ben Shapiro debunks four major "lies" propagated by critics of President Trump's military actions against Iran, framing the conflict as a swift and successful operation rather than a prolonged quagmire. He argues:

• Lie 1: It's a quagmire. Shapiro counters that the "war" has lasted only 12 days, with U.S. and Israeli forces effectively dismantling Iran's missile capabilities, navy, and military facilities, leaving Iran humiliated and unable to respond aggressively.
• Lie 2: Iran's leadership is strong. He highlights reports of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei's coma, with regime officials allegedly using a cardboard cutout of him during allegiance ceremonies, signaling internal chaos and succession issues.
• Lie 3: Oil prices will spike. Despite an initial surge, prices have stabilized below $90 per barrel, with no significant disruptions to global supply.
• Lie 4: Trump has no plan. Shapiro describes Trump's strategy as targeted, short-term strikes combined with threats to seize the Strait of Hormuz if needed, emphasizing U.S. dominance and coordination with Israel.

Shapiro criticizes opponents, including Democrats, "horseshoe right" figures like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, and media for downplaying U.S. successes while amplifying Iranian propaganda. The episode also covers unrelated topics, such as New York City Council member Zohran Mamdani's alleged sympathies toward jihad supporters amid recent ISIS-inspired terrorism attempts (e.g., two suspects arrested for plotting IED attacks at an anti-Muslim rally). Additionally, Shapiro mocks Texas Senate candidate James Talarico for twisting Christian teachings to support progressive policies like abortion rights, transgender issues, and environmentalism, calling it heretical.

Oil Crises, Past and Possibly Future What the 70s can and can’t teach us ............ In October 1973, on Yom Kippur — the Day of Atonement — Syria and Egypt launched a surprise attack on Israel. After desperate fighting, the Israelis gained the upper hand, thanks in part to a huge airlift of weapons from the United States.......... The Arab world erupted in rage, and oil producers temporarily embargoed exports to the U.S. and other nations that had supported Israel. The result was the first of a series of oil crises that wreaked global economic havoc. ............. oil experts’ hair is on fire — the Strait of Hormuz is closed! — while macroeconomists are relatively calm, arguing that we’re not as vulnerable to an oil shock as we were two generations ago. ............. The disruption of world oil supplies caused by the war in Iran looks extremely serious. Indeed, if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed for an extended period, this will be a worse disruption than either the aftermath of the Yom Kippur War or the aftermath of the 1979 Iranian revolution.
