President Trump is making his frustration with European allies clear as military operations in Iran continue, labeling NATO a "paper tiger" as several countries restrict airspace and decline to assist in securing the Strait of Hormuz.

Retired Army Colonel Jon Sweet joins the Rundown to discuss the readiness of our allies, as well as Iran's strategy of outlasting U.S. interest.

Who Really Holds The Reins In Iran? Apr 04, 2026

Show notes

Since being named Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei has not made one public appearance. There have only been messages, purportedly by him, that have been read on Iranian state TV, consisting of wide-ranging threats against the United States, Israel, and other Mideast neighbors. Other reports claimed Mojtaba was in critical condition or even in a coma, though Iranian officials have insisted that the new supreme leader is in good health. It all begs the question - who is currently in charge of Iran?

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Christine Balling, former U.S. Defense Advisor and the Senior Vice President at the Institute of World Politics, who says the simple fact we don't see Iran's new Ayatollah in any capacity shows how successful this military operation has gone.
