CNN’s chyron was already doing the heavy lifting for the narrative — treating Trump’s victory talk like some embarrassing rerun of 2003 — when Scott Jennings decided to ignore the script and talk about results instead.
Let's not pretend Jennings ever gives one single damn about a script ...
While the rest of the NewsNight panel treated “ongoing war” as settled fact, Jennings pointed to the scoreboard that actually matters: Iran’s defense industrial base has been smashed, its oil exports have been shut off since the naval blockade resumed, and the U.S. Navy has already shepherded 750 million barrels of oil out of the Gulf.
That’s not a quagmire. That’s a decisive strategic win, and Jennings is right that the president should stop letting the media define the terms and just tell the American people what they’ve already achieved.
WATCH:
Post continues:
... aligned against Iran thanks to the president?”
“They have no navy. They have no military. They have no allies. They have no economy and they export no oil. Do you not know these things?”
“[Iran] cannot export a barrel of oil today, and you think they're emboldened? That is crazy talk.”
Abby Phillip: “There's no question that Iran is weaker today in terms of their economy…”
Scott Jennings: “It’s more than weaker. They’re in a free fall. They’re in a spiral.”
It's painfully obvious to see the Left rooting against America because they hate Trump so much they don't want a win here. That's how warped and broken they are as a group. No wonder communism is seeping into their ranks so easily.

Too bad only 113 people watch CNN.
I asked the AI on an unrelated matter what the world’s weakest currencies were. Iran’s Ryahn (spelling?) came in at #1.
Wonder what her FReeper handle is?
If they didn’t have Scott Jennings, they would have NO viewers!!
Too bad?
The problem is that unless we get a thorough and permanent regime change in Iran, there is no real victory without that.
If the Democrats here return to power, they will do everything they can and more to rebuild and support the radical Islamists in Iran.
Trump’s win against Iran is perhaps the most important win in history because it prevented the near 100% chance of nuclear war.
The only real question is whether or not Tel Aviv and Tehran would’ve been the only cities destroyed.
CNN bimbos and pretentious ‘men’ usually stand with enemies of the United States because they’re stupid with delusions of grandeur and self identifying as ‘elites’.
If CNN had existed during World War II they would be quoting Hitler as if he was the equal of our Presidents Presidents Truman and Roosevelt. CNN’s so disgusting.
“They have no navy. They have no military. They have no allies. They have no economy and they export no oil. Do you not know these things?”
“[Iran] cannot export a barrel of oil today, and you think they’re emboldened? That is crazy talk.”
Abby Phillip: “There’s no question that Iran is weaker today in terms of their economy…”
Scott Jennings: “It’s more than weaker. They’re in a free fall. They’re in a spiral.”
Probsbly the same tw@twaffles that are on FR claiming Iran won 24/7.
Abby Phillip- “...Their allies, Iran’s allies...are they telling them to back down? The answer is no...”
Scott should have responded- “Are you talking about the Democrats?”
Who is the hottie on the right at the end?
it prevented the near 100% chance of nuclear war.
For now. If the description of the destruction at very end in the Book of Revelation doesn’t describe a nuclear explosion of apocalyptic proportions, I don’t know what does. (Not saying it will be Iran who does it).
I don’t know, since we don’t have CNN on our Direct TV schedule.............
For Iran, its now just a race to the bottom
Can the mullahs in their bunkers out-wait Trump? Will the Iranian people put up with it?
Scott Jennings: “No evidence? The entire region is allied against it. Are you disputing that the entirety of the Middle East is not aligned against Iran thanks to the president?”
The Mecca Joint Defense Agreement (also called the Mecca/Makkah Pact) is a mutual defense pact signed on August 7, 2026, by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan. It includes a collective defense clause under which an armed attack on any one of the three is treated as an attack on all, along with broader defense cooperation. Officials from the signatories have said it is not directed at any specific country (including Iran) and could potentially expand (Egypt has been mentioned as a possible future member).
Around August 22–23, 2026, Lebanon-based Al Mayadeen reported—citing Mehdi Rahimi, head of the Iranian parliament’s Khaneh Mellat news agency—that Iran had received an invitation to join and that the matter was under review. Rahimi framed it positively as progress toward a regional security framework Iran had long sought. This claim was widely picked up by other outlets but was not independently confirmed by Iran’s Foreign Ministry, senior Iranian leadership, or any of the three signatory governments.
On August 24, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei explicitly denied a formal invitation: Iran had not received one, though “proposals have been raised for dialogue with these countries on matters related to collective security in the region.” Iran has otherwise responded cautiously and non-confrontationally to the pact itself, stating it saw no reason for concern and viewing regional efforts toward self-reliant security arrangements in a relatively positive light.
Will Israel attack Turkey if they're a member of two separate nuclear defensive alliances?
That depends on how long a flight delay.
That depends on how long a flight delay.
Who let Abby Phillip out of her straitjacket and rubber room?
The woman is light-years away from reality.
“If they didn’t have Scott Jennings, they would have NO viewers!!”
So once he steps in to Karoline Leavitt’s job 🤞🏻 CNN should cease to exist. I’m comfortable with that!
