## Resource

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on all hell breaking loose as Donald Trump escalates his catastrophic war against Iran, with the White House signaling the conflict could last for weeks or even months. Meiselas explains how Iran responded by launching attacks targeting U.S. military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, raising fears that the conflict is spiraling into a much wider regional war as a result of Trump’s malicious and reckless behavior with catastrophic global consequences taking place.
