Thursday Q&A Live LIVE at 11am Eastern, 8am Pacific, 4pm UK time. Not a bombing campaign — an ultimatum to every bank, registry, and swap line keeping Tehran alive.

August 20, 2026 — LIVE at 11am Eastern, 8am Pacific, 4pm UK timeWatch LIVE on YouTubeOvernight: Trump Declares “Economic D-Day” on IranThis morning the President announced what he called “the MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY.” Not a bombing campaign — an economic one: any country whose banks, businesses, airports, or agencies throw Iran a lifeline will itself face consequences. Oil smuggling, swap lines, front companies — “It all needs to stop NOW. You know who you are.”We take apart “Economic D-Day” — who the lifelines are, why Trump named ship registries and swap lines, and why the maniacs on the ropes aren’t only in Tehran.Yesterday: A Kim Summit Is Back OnAsked Wednesday whether he expects to see Kim Jong Un later this year, Trump said: “Yeah, I will be.” Days after ordering the Pentagon to wind down the Korea war games, the personal diplomacy that defined his first term is coming back.The pattern is the one we laid out Tuesday: the Mecca Pact, the Gaza push, Korea. Nations arranging their own security — and a president who would rather meet his adversaries than drill for war with them.Barbara and Susan connect it all — with your questions — in a few hours.🔴 LIVE today · 11am Eastern · 8am Pacific · 4pm UKYouTube: https://youtube.com/live/OvTcfiy5ySkX (Twitter): broadcast begins at 11am on our profile page: https://x.com/PrometheanActnSee you in a few hours,Adam SturmanProducer, Promethean Actionhttps://x.com/AdamSturman23 Authors Author, Michigan-based organizer, passionate student of Plato’s dialogues.
