"They need to see the real cost": War with Iran hits one week without clear mission - The Weekend Primetime - MS NOW



We are one week into Trump's war with Iran, and the mission is still unclear. This comes as Trump travels to Dover Airforce base in Delaware to witness the dignified transfer of six Americans killed in the war.

The co-hosts of “The Weekend: Primetime” discuss the evolving rationale behind the conflict, the realities of boots on the ground, the economic impact, and the Trump Administration’s potential plans for Cuba. - Aired on 03/07/2026.

The Good Guys (USA) against the Bad Guys (Most of the Middle East, except Israel).

There is no plan, never was, never will be.

If there is a plan with details on its 'successful' conclusion, no one knows.
Not even Trump.
