Iran latest: View from the border / Trump strong-arms allies
Published 4 days, 5 hours ago
Description
President Trump has demanded, begged and threatened U.S.
allies to join the war in Iran.
But those allies aren’t exactly leaping in to help. Can Trump finish the war he started – without them?
Host Mary Louise Kelly is joined by Arezou Rezvani, NPR’s correspondent currently in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. Rezvani opened up her reporter’s notebook to share what it’s like covering Iran from outside the country. NPR’s national security correspondent Greg Myre joined them to talk about the importance of Kharg Island, Iran's oil export hub on the Persian Gulf, and what path President Trump might take to end the conflict.
