Trump is ‘stuck in a stalemate’ in Iran (with Leon Panetta)

About this episode

Leon Panetta discusses the U.S. conflict with Iran and critiques President Biden's approach to international conflicts.

Leon Panetta, former Defense Secretary and CIA director under President Obama, joins Dasha Burns to assess the U.S. conflict with Iran, warning that unclear objectives, a closed Strait of Hormuz and uncertain nuclear negotiations could leave the U.S. stuck in a prolonged war. Plus, Panetta defends President Biden’s handling of the Israel/Gaza conflict but says Biden “should have been much tougher” in providing weapons for Ukraine.
