US conservative TV hosts are calling for major escalation against Iran — even nuclear strikes and ground troops — which is bad news for anyone hoping the conflict stays contained.

• Trump declared the ceasefire with Iran over, meaning US bombing can resume and Iran may again hit US bases and allies in the region.
• Right-wing pundits are demanding the US destroy Iran's military, force open the Strait of Hormuz, and even use nuclear weapons.
• One Newsmax host called Iranians "savages" and openly urged killing civilians, drawing fierce pushback.
• The war is deeply unpopular, and hosts who defend it are seen as parroting talking points to keep their jobs.

Outlook: If the fighting widens, expect oil prices to jump again and more pressure for direct US involvement.
