Jim Hanson calls Trump a 'MASTER OF DECEPTION' over Iran

The Varney & Co. segment moves from Iran policy before the midterms to Lithuania's offer to fund a potential U.S. military base.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 104,259 views a day, 12 times a normal first day on this channel (8,400).

Iran policy and a Baltic base offer share a compact Fox Business segment that has reached about 50,000 views in its first eight hours, well beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for a Short.

On Varney & Co., U.S. Army special forces veteran Jim Hanson discusses President Donald Trump's approach to Iran ahead of the midterms. The upload's title highlights Hanson's characterization of Trump as a “MASTER OF DECEPTION.” The discussion also covers economic pressure on Iran and the possibility of deals, making this an assessment of strategy rather than an announcement of a new agreement.

Then the focus shifts to Europe. According to the description, Hanson considers Lithuania's offer to fund a potential U.S. military base, the strategic access NATO allies provide and how to deter Vladimir Putin's actions in Europe.

The segment's fast start comes while Fox Business's overall daily views are running at less than half their usual pace. The channel is also exploring Russian decision-making in a separate Kudlow interview with retired Gen. Keith Kellogg about Putin's motives for a diesel deal with the United States.
