  • Former State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus responds to Biden's claim that Iran, Hezbollah, and Russia are all weaker than when he took office on 'Varney & Co.'

The video segment from MSN, featuring Morgan Ortagus, discusses the shifting balance of power in the Middle East due to Israel's actions, which have seemingly ignored advice from President Biden. Ortagus, a former U.S. State Department spokesperson, highlights how Israel's military operations, particularly in response to attacks from Hamas, have led to a reevaluation of regional alliances and power dynamics. She points out that despite Biden's calls for restraint, Israel's aggressive stance has not only altered its relationship with the U.S. but also influenced other Middle Eastern countries to reconsider their strategic positions, potentially leading to new alliances or conflicts. This situation underscores a broader theme of changing geopolitical landscapes where traditional U.S. influence might be waning, and local powers are increasingly making decisions based on their immediate security needs rather than long-term diplomatic relations.
