Victor Davis Hanson: Iran’s Chaos Strategy, Trump’s Political Tightrope, Cuba, and California’s DEI Push

Iran’s “chaos strategy” consists of threatening the Strait of Hormuz and striking regional targets, weighing U.S. and Israeli escalation options amid Donald Trump’s political constraints before the midterms and concerns over oil markets, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

The episode also addresses controversy over a girls’ school allegedly struck near a military base, noting uncertainty over responsibility and the likelihood of collateral damage from dispersed Iranian military sites.

Hanson then turns to Cuba as a sophisticated exporter of revolutionary influence and suggests pressure without invasion.

He analyzes Trump’s use of Rubio versus Vance as “good cop” dynamics and criticizes California efforts to revive racial preferences, gerrymandering, and a high school transgender track controversy.
