Good afternoon America—this is The Rob Maness Show, its More War Monday and we’re live on WorldViewTube and XSpaces Simulcast. Folks, the world is on fire, and the flames are spreading fast. We just saw it: Iran on the brink of dominating the region—until the U.S. and Israel stepped in with decisive, pre-emptive strikes starting late February. As of today, March 9, 2026, those joint operations continue, hammering Iranian military sites, nuclear facilities, oil infrastructure, and leadership—reports confirm the death of Supreme Leader Khamenei and dozens of top officials in massive airstrikes across Tehran, Isfahan, and beyond. Iran’s retaliating with missiles and drones, hitting U.S. bases, Israeli targets, and even disrupting Gulf shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. And the fallout? Oil and gas prices are skyrocketing—Brent crude pushing past $100 a barrel in recent days, with fears of $100+ if disruptions worsen. Russia's supplying intel and possibly more to Iran, benefiting from the chaos as their own energy exports surge. This isn't just about nukes—it's insurgency, Marxist-Islamist alliances, threats from Venezuela to China, and now whispers that Cuba could be next in this push against these threats. My guest today is retired Special Operations pilot and CEO of CDM Press, L. Todd Wood. He’s part of the new Pentagon press corps that’s demanding answers and delivering real reporting to the American people.
