According to a report by Fox News, on Wednesday April 29, 2026, Fox News host Piers Morgan weighed in on the evolving state of global security, the role of NATO, and the current dynamics of the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.
Amidst a broader discussion regarding the influence of Western powers in the Middle East, Morgan addressed the military conflict between Iran and a coalition of the U.S. and Israel. While discussing the operational realities on the ground, Morgan remarked:
“Militarily I think America and Israel have smashed the Iranians to pieces. That is unarguable. This issue around the Strait of Hormuz and the enormous economic damage that’s causing the whole world is a serious concern that is ongoing.”
The conversation also touched upon the necessity of NATO member nations meeting their financial obligations.
Morgan expressed support for President Trump’s long-standing pressure on European allies to increase defense spending, noting that for the alliance to remain effective, “all the member countries [must] put up.”
