Summary
The United States now has more than 50,000 troops stationed in the Middle East. The number has been bolstered by recent deployments, and is raising discussions over whether ground operations could be made against the Iranian regime. This comes alongside news that President Donald Trump is weighing the option of seizing oil resources and refined uranium from Iran. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has placed a bounty on fraud. The federal government is now offering huge rewards for reports that lead to takedowns of fraudsters. We’ll discuss these topics and others in this episode of Crossroads.
