Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

Major developments today involving Iran, national security, and South Carolina politics.

President Donald Trump told NBC News over the weekend that Iran is ready to make a deal — but he is not prepared to accept a ceasefire agreement at this time. The president also suggested that Iran’s new supreme leader may not even be alive, adding another layer of uncertainty to the rapidly evolving situation inside the country.

Meanwhile, exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi says he is prepared to lead Iran through a political transition “as soon as the Islamic Republic falls.” His comments come as pressure on the Iranian regime intensifies and speculation grows about the future leadership of the country.

In another developing story, Israeli officials say the brother of the suspect in last week’s synagogue attack in Michigan was a commander in Hezbollah. Authorities are now investigating potential connections to international terrorism following the attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield.

Closer to home, the South Carolina House has passed a $15.4 billion state budget. House Ways and Means Chairman Bruce Bannister described the proposal as an “optimistic” roadmap for the future of the Palmetto State. The measure now moves to the South Carolina Senate before heading to Governor Henry McMaster.
