War in Iran: NZ must reset foreign policy - expert
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the war in Iran and the shift in US foreign policy towards economic actions.
By some estimates, the war with Iran has now cost the United States more than 180 billion dollars. After peace talks broke down, US President Donald Trump this week announced a complete change in strategy: economic, rather than military, action. Professor Robert Patman from the University of Otago joins Jack Tame six months on from the start of the conflict. Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter.
