Back to EpisodesInside the Iran War: Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson on U.S. Strategy, Regime Change and What Comes Next
Description
Ten days into the U.S.–Israel war with Iran, the conflict is expanding across the Middle East — and Gulf countries once seen as neutral players are now under direct attack. Mosheh talks with Fox News Correspondent Lucas Tomlinson, reporting from Dubai, for a look at how the war is unfolding on the ground.
Tomlinson explains why Iran is targeting Gulf states like the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, and whether those governments may soon join the US strikes on Iran. He also breaks down Iran’s military strategy — including waves of low-cost drones designed to overwhelm expensive U.S. and allied defenses.
The conversation explores the condition of U.S. military assets in the region, including reports of radar damage and the enormous cost of intercepting Iranian missiles and drones. We also ask what "mission accomplished" actually means for Washington and potential ground missions — including special forces operations and the strategic importance of Iran’s oil export hub at Kharg Island.
