US Military Hits Targets Near Iran’s Kharg Island
“Balance of Power” focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today’s show, Michael Allen, former special assistant to President George W. Bush in the National Security sector, says the US is taking its economic pressure campaign against Iran “right to the jugular,” describing Kharg Island as the “Achilles’ heel of the Iranian oil system.” Greta Peisch, former general counsel for the Office of the United States Trade Representative, says the US and Canada are showing restraint in their trade dispute, with critical and sensitive sectors remaining untouched despite room for further escalation. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), senior member of House Appropriations Committee and former Chair of the DNC, says she has serious differences with Abdul El-Sayed, but argues Mike Rogers would be a “rubber stamp” for President Donald Trump.
