"Born in the U.S.A.": Supreme Court Appears Skeptical of Trump's Birthright Citizenship Ban
President Donald Trump gave a primetime televised address Wednesday to discuss the war on Iran, his first since the United States and Israel launched attacks on February 28. Trump gave few clues about when or how the war could end, but he boasted about killing top Iranian leaders and degrading the country's military. He threatened to bomb Iran "back to the stone ages, where they belong."

Despite the grandiose claims, built on "lies and delusions," Trump "did not add anything new," says Iranian American scholar Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, who calls Trump's shifting justifications an admission of "defeat in the war of narratives."

We also speak with journalist Spencer Ackerman, who says the U.S. has already lost the war. "Iran has changed the entirety of this conflict," he says. "It has pivoted this conflict onto its own territory and its own goals, and the United States does not have a military mechanism to redress that, primarily the throttling of the Strait of Hormuz."
