"Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today’s show, Rep. Darrell Issa, Republican of California and vice chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, says President Trump is taking a two-track approach to Iran: pursuing peace talks while using military force to prevent Tehran from rebuilding its nuclear program or threatening its neighbors. Barbara Leaf, former US Ambassador to the UAE and former Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs under President Biden, says US airpower alone cannot reopen the Strait of Hormuz, adding that the only way to stop the conflict is through a negotiated end. California Attorney General Rob Bonta says the Justice Department "abdicated" its antitrust enforcement role by approving Paramount’s proposed $110 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, as California and 11 other states sue to block the deal.
