Iran Vows Revenge, Retribution
Amanpour
Mar 12, 2026
In a statement attributed to him and read by Iranian state TV, Iran's new supreme leader vows revenge, and pledges retribution for the death of his family. He also said the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed, and called for US bases in the Middle East to be shuttered. Iran is escalating its attacks on global energy supplies and its Gulf neighbors, while President Trump is insisting the US has already won the war. New York Times Magazine staff writer Ronen Bergman joins the show to try and make sense of all this.
Also on today's show: Jeffrey DeLaurentis, former acting US ambassador to Cuba; former Golman Sachs Chairman/CEO Lloyd Blankfein
