Trump in Iran: Blitzkrieg to quagmire?
About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges faced by Donald Trump regarding military action in Iran and the implications for U.S. foreign policy.
Donald Trump is in a bind: there's very little appetite in Washington for boots on the ground but will that be the only way to unblock the Strait of Hormuz? Is there any possible deal that would look and feel like a victory over the Iranian regime? And why do people start looking more nervously at the president towards the weekend?
