Iran, Nukes and the Illusion of Safety | Nuclear Weapons Expert Scott Sagan
About this episode
Professor Scott Sagan discusses the risks associated with Iran potentially going nuclear, focusing on accidental explosions and the threat of nuclear war in the Middle East.
The Table is joined by Professor Scott Sagan - leading scholar of nuclear security and international relations. Sagan explains that the biggest risk of Iran going nuclear is being missed. It's the threat of accidental explosion and even full-out nuclear war in the Middle East. In his view, this is especially true when small despotic nations get the bomb. Scary stuff.
