Inside The Daring Rescue Of US Airmen in Iran

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. With NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte headed to the White House, is there a deepening rift within the alliance? 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.
