## Resource

President Trump addressed the nation on the Iran war Wednesday night. The White House promised "an important update." What he delivered was 19 minutes of talking points that contradict his own intelligence chief, his own counterterrorism director, his own words from the night he started the war, and his own Reuters interview published the same day. In this episode, I take the speech apart line by line. Every claim checked against the receipts. The nuclear deal he broke and then blamed Iran for. The diplomacy he sabotaged and then said he tried. The regime change he pursued on camera and then denied. The 45,000 dead Iranian civilians he cited as justification while promising to bomb them back to the stone ages and destroy their electrical grid. Sources include the IAEA, Arms Control Association, the White House's own transcript, Reuters, CNN, NPR, Al Jazeera, Antiwar.com , and the president's own words on tape.
