Trump restarts war on Iran, but has no way out: The US lost
About this episode
Ben Norton discusses the implications of Trump's actions against Iran and the lack of a strategic plan from the US government.
Donald Trump violated the diplomatic agreement and restarted the war, bombing Iran and re-imposing a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Ben Norton explains why the US government will fail, because it has no plan and lacks leverage, whereas Tehran and its decentralized military have escalation dominance.
