Overview
- On his Wednesday podcast, Rogan denounced Operation Epic Fury as an unnecessary escalation and warned it could 'start a World War III.'
- He questioned the justification for the strikes, saying Iran 'hadn't done anything' and calling for more proof that Tehran is building a nuclear weapon.
- Rogan said Trump's approaching 80th birthday heightens concern over judgment, while guests noted age-related cognitive decline and he criticized the president's diet.
- The Independent reported more than 1,250 Iranians killed in the U.S.-Israeli strikes, including 175 civilians at a school, and seven U.S. service members dead, with a U.S. probe tying the school strike to American fire.
- He argued the war betrays Trump's no-more-wars message and could alienate parts of his base, even as Mediaite noted polling shows strong MAGA support for the strikes so far.
