๐จ๐ญ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท The Switzerland talks just started. But has America already lost?
Defense analyst Pravin Sawhney broke down why he thinks Iran holds every card at this summit, and why Trump's threats aren't landing the way people think.
"I haven't heard an American President talk like this or write messages like this. The man basically is extremely disturbed."
We also got into why Iran's top negotiator just refused a photo op with the U.S., Qatari, and Pakistani teams.
And why he believes Iran doesn't even want a nuclear weapon, because it would wreck the regional alliance Tehran is building with China, Russia, and Pakistan.
Genuinely one of the most clear-eyed breakdowns I've heard on where things really stand.

๐จ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท THE U.S. WATCHED IRANIAN DRONES DESTROY UKRAINE FOR YEARS AND DID NOTHING TO PREPARE
Former U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery says this was a failure of foresight with real consequences.
The Shahed drone was not a surprise. It was battlefield-tested in Ukraine for years in plain sight.
The U.S. watched, analyzed and failed to build the defenses needed before entering a war against the country that makes them.
"We should have prioritized this. We didn't."
Why did the U.S. enter this war without building the defenses it watched Ukraine desperately need for years?
