Trump's Iran War Backfires as Global Opposition Mounts - Gerald Horne

About this episode

Gerald Horne discusses the implications of the U.S. war on Iran and its effects on global and domestic politics.

Gerald Horne joins Paul Jay to break down how the U.S. war on Iran has isolated Washington on the world stage, fractured the political right at home, and handed Tehran leverage it never had before. From anti-Trump summits in Barcelona to Jamie Dimon urging the elites to "finish the job," they examine whether the American establishment has any real exit strategy, or whether it's heading toward another Iraq War.
