About this episode

Ian Bremmer joins Chris Cuomo to discuss the complexities of the Iran war and its long-term implications.

Ian Bremmer (President and Founder, Eurasia Group and GZERO Media) joins Chris Cuomo to break down where the Iran war is actually heading — and why the short-term politics are masking a much more serious long-term problem. Bremmer walks through the state of the ceasefire talks, the role Jared Kushner is playing in negotiations, and why Trump now has marginally more leverage than he did in the first round — but still not enough to get a deal that holds. He and Cuomo debate whether the Abraham Accords were a genuine diplomatic achievement or a business arrangement that lined Kushner's pockets, and what that history means for trusting the current process. The conversation turns to the economic consequences that are already unfolding — semiconductor shortages, jet fuel supply chains, LNG infrastructure damage, and the Strait of Hormuz — and why Bremmer argues these will take years to work through regardless of how Trump announces an exit.
