This week, mixed messaging over the ongoing war in the Middle East continues, as President Donald Trump engages in “weaponized unpredictability” in advance of a possible ground invasion of Iran.
Our investigations kick off this week with the odd story of a mysterious new “numbers station” that began broadcasting shortly after the Iran war began, and the question over who has been trying to jam its transmissions. We then look at ongoing upsets in Washington that include the ousting of (now former) Attorney General Pam Bondi, before shifting our attention over to the question of President Trump’s intentions regarding Iran. While Trump continues to say that the war will soon end, some indications point to the possibility, according to various sources, of a potential ground invasion. We examine this and other concerning realities as the conflict rages on, and global markets continue to tremor under the resulting volatility.
This episode of Middle Theory is dedicated to the casualties of the ongoing war in Iran, including U.S. military personnel and innocent civilians killed during the military conflict.
