Newest War Developments: Looming Nuclear War, Advice to Trump, and US Boots on the Ground in Iran – Colonel Douglas Macgregor (Tucker Carlson Video)

In this 9 March 2026 published video, host Tucker Carlson talks with Col. Douglas Macgregor on how this war in Iran ends.

Global tensions have escalated to a point where the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has set the Doomsday Clock to 85 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been to global catastrophe. This heightened risk is driven by active military hostilities involving five nuclear-armed nations and the collapse of the final major arms control safeguards.

Tensions reached a critical level following ”Operation Epic Fury,” a series of U.S. strikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites. The conflict expanded when Iran launched counterstrikes against U.S. and Israeli interests in the Middle East, leading to the confirmed death of Iran’s Supreme Leader.

The New START Treaty, the last remaining nuclear arms control agreement between the U.S. and Russia, expired in February 2026 without a formal extension or replacement. Its expiration ends a decade of transparency and limits on the world’s two largest nuclear arsenals.

Military experts note a shift toward nuclear brinkmanship, where nuclear weapons are increasingly integrated into conventional military strategies, raising the risk of use through miscalculation or accident.
