U.S. Says NUKING IRAN Is The ONLY OPTION, Trump Won't Rule It Out w/ Stacy Washington
Featuring: Stacy Washington
Episode Recap
Tim Pool hosted Timcast IRL on June 21, 2025, with co-host Ian Crossland and guest Stacy Washington, conservative commentator and Air Force veteran. The episode opened with an extensive discussion about reports that the Trump administration was considering military options to destroy Iran's Fordow nuclear facility, with sources indicating that only a tactical nuclear strike could penetrate the mountain-based facility. Tim discussed how Trump reportedly backed off strikes for two weeks after being informed that conventional bunker busters would be insufficient. The conversation shifted to a shooting incident at a liberal 50501 protest in Utah, where an Antifa-affiliated individual who was initially arrested as a victim was released, with lawyers filing claims of unlawful detention. Tim also covered claims by a Minnesota man arrested for an alleged assassination plot who claimed Tim Walz told him to carry out the attack. Throughout the episode, Tim and Stacy discussed military options, the geopolitical implications of striking Iran, and the broader political landscape. Sponsor mentions included MyPillow, CastBrew.com coffee, and Pocket Hose.

Notable Quotes
“According to numerous reports, Donald Trump backed off a strike on Iran, giving it two weeks because he was informed that the only way to destroy the Fordow nuclear site would be with a tactical nuclear strike.”
— Tim Pool · opening
“The concern brought up by Trump himself was that the bunker busters would not be strong enough to actually penetrate the mountain base, reach the labs below the nuclear facility below and destroy it.”
— Tim Pool · main discussion
“I'm a rabidly, righteously American loving patriot, but I also like everybody. So if Democrats still want to be my friend after all that, come on in.”
— Stacy Washington · guest introduction
“What Trump is actually doing is saber rattling in the most extreme way possible so that Iran is forced to come to the table.”
— Tim Pool · analysis
“Trump met with Steve Bannon recently, and he also got on the phone with Tucker Carlson, so it sounds like conversations are happening with the people who are staunchly opposed to U.S. involvement in Iran.”
