About this episode

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta analyze the implications of Trump's ceasefire announcement with Iran and its impact on U.S. foreign policy and domestic politics.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the fallout from Trump’s two-week ceasefire announcement with Iran as confusion grows over who actually controls the Strait of Hormuz and what the U.S. achieved. They analyze conflicting reports and reactions from officials and observers, including questions about Iran’s military losses versus its new leverage in global shipping, and Trump’s own shifting rhetoric on the conflict. Kander and Gupta also dive into the escalating backlash from within Trump’s own base, as figures across the political spectrum sound the alarm over his threats, strategy, and handling of the war. Plus, they discuss the latest political developments at home, from Georgia’s shifting electorate and JD Vance’s international campaigning to controversies in media and a major DOJ shakeup.
