About this episode

Justin Logan discusses Trump's claims regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities and the implications of US foreign policy.

Justin Logan, Director of Defense and Foreign Policy Studies at the Cato Institute, joins Maddie Hale to discuss Trump's claim that Iran has agreed not to build a nuclear weapon, whether withdrawing from the JCPOA set the US on the path to war, and reports the President was warned Iran could weaponise the Strait of Hormuz.
