I'm Howard Mackler, I spent my career building companies that help businesses solve problems. Now, I built SuperShore because I think business insurance is broken. Some brokers hand you a policy, collect your commission and disappear until renewal. Your business runs all year, and so are the gaps and the risks. For companies with 25 or more employees, whether you're the owner, CFO or HR manager, SuperShore is built for you. We're licensed at all 50 states, covering business insurance and employee benefits, with year-round support for you and your team. You can go to supershore.com and use the Find Print Facts tool, which translates your current policy into plain English, so you see what's covered and what's not. The Business Value Calculator helps you estimate what your company is worth, so you know what actually needs protecting. Go to supershore.com. All your policies in one place. Go to supershore.com, that's supershore.com. You can thank me later.

The US has vowed severe retaliation against Iran after missile strikes killed multiple American service members over the weekend. Cabot Phillips, host of Wired In, is here to get us up to speed. So Cabot, for weeks now, you know, things have been escalating. Now it looks like we're on the verge of all-out war again. So what is the latest in the conflict?

**Cabot Phillips** (2:56)
Yeah, as we've discussed on the show, the ceasefire with Iran had been slowly dissolving over the last few weeks with tit-for-tat strikes. But President Trump maintained the talks were ongoing and diplomacy was still a main goal for both sides. But there's now no doubt that the memorandum of understanding is over with. And the real question now is whether we return to all-out war.
The turning point came Saturday when Iranian missiles and drones made it past our air defense system and scored a direct hit on Muafiq Salty Air Base. It's an American installation used throughout this conflict. That strike killed at least three American service members and sent four more to the hospital with serious injuries. And then Sunday afternoon, CENTCOM announced that yet another soldier had been killed, this time in Iraq, during a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian one-way attack drone. These are the first American deaths in the Middle East since back in April and bring the death toll for this conflict up to at least 17
In remarkable and just horrifying footage reportedly captured at the scene, you can see the devastating impact of this Iranian strike on the base in Jordan.

**John Bickley** (3:59)
Like you said, just horrific footage there. So what have we heard so far from the White House and the Pentagon?

**Cabot Phillips** (4:06)
Well, in a statement shortly after the strikes, War Secretary Pete Hegseth said, quote, Godspeed, heroes, their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve. And that has been the general sentiment so far, resolve. For example, a Pentagon spokesman posted this clip of Secretary Hegseth as well over the weekend.

**Pete Hegseth** (4:23)
If you kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on earth, we will hunt you down without apology and without hesitation, and we will kill you.
