Trump: Will Be Hitting Iran Hard, It’s Our Turn | Balance of Power: Late Edition 07/29/2026
Context
"Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today's show, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) says maintaining sanctions and a blockade on Iran will be "painful" for Americans ahead of the midterms, but argues that sustaining the pressure for several more months may be the most effective way to move Tehran. Former Republican Senator Jeff Flake says the standoff over Todd Blanche's attorney general nomination shows the limits of President Trump's influence over the Senate. (Source: Bloomberg)
