The United States has announced that it is reviewing its military plans against Iran.

Administration officials have said that as many as 120,000 troops could be sent to the Middle East if Iran were to attack US forces or accelerate work on nuclear weapons.

Donald Trump himself has stated that he would "see what happens" in relation to the plans, but that if Iran were to do anything it would be "a very bad mistake".

The situation serves as a reminder of the Iraq War in 2003, which saw an invasion of similar numbers of American troops.

Could a US-Iran war be a real possibility?

Cal Thomas and Marion McKeone discussed this and more in our US slot, and Cal also paid tribute to Doris Day, who has passed away at age 97.
