Professor John Mearsheimer discusses the implications of US-Iran relations and the influence of key figures on military strategies.

Iran war negotiations, Trump bombing threat, Strait of Hormuz blockade, Israel lobby influence — Professor John Mearsheimer joins Redacted to break down why the US has effectively lost its war against Iran, how Netanyahu and Mossad chief David Barnea convinced Trump a shock-and-awe strategy would topple the Iranian regime, and why the ongoing naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is sabotaging peace talks in Islamabad.
