From the transcript

This is an episode that we'd have preferred not to have to make. The war between the United States, Israel, and Iran has been going on for half a year at this point, and for most of that time, any sort of large-scale ground invasion seemed to be beyond the pale.

Unfortunately, we're no longer at that stage, Trump has tried just about everything else, ranging from bombing, diplomacy, bombing, blockades, raising $300 billion for Iran, and did we mention bombing?

The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, some ships are trying to get through, but four separate attacks were carried out yesterday alone, and it's becoming clear that the air and naval-only approach Washington's been trying to do is no longer cutting it.
