Iran is head of snake of Islamist terror targeting Americans: Chris Cuomo
Chris Cuomo tells Americans it's time to forget the outrage that has consumed the left and right because there is a threat to everyone — Iran. Cuomo says Iran has been actively trying to get people to kill Jews and Americans for years, and questions whether people will take the side of terrorists again like they did with Hamas. Cuomo calls out some progressive U.S. politicians for their silence and others for their comments amid the Israel-Iran conflict. 'Iran is absolutely the head of the snake when it comes to Islamist terror targeting Americans and anyone who doesn't get that is part of the problem,' Cuomo says. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Israel concluded it can't allow Iranian regime to have nuclear weapons: Retired general
Following Israel's strikes, Iran launched retaliatory missiles. Now, the two countries are involved in a back-and-forth that many worry will turn into an actual war. Chris Cuomo speaks with H.R. McMaster, a retired lieutenant general and former Trump national security adviser, about the conflict. McMaster says President Trump's proposed nuclear deal with Iran was giving them 'one last shot,' and Israel concluded that it can't allow a hostile regime to have the most destructive weapons on Earth. McMaster adds that he believes it was always inevitable a conflict like this would happen due to the nature of the Iranian regime. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

What is the Iranian perspective at this stage? It's complicated
(NewsNation) — Two panelists — Iranian American journalist Negar Mortazavi and Aaron David Miller, a former Middle East peace negotiator — join 'CUOMO' to try to assess the future of Iran, a country with more than 90 million people, now that it's in conflict with Israel. They say the dynamics are too complicated to make predictions, but Miller offers this grim assessment: 'I don't think this is going to have a happy ending. Iran's going to play the long game.'
