Episode Details

U.S. President Donald Trump has delivered his first national address on the war against Iran, claiming major victories but also raising more questions than answers. He claimed that the war is near completion, but warned of intensifying strikes in the coming weeks. While saying the U.S. doesn't need Iran's oil, he has previously floated the idea of "taking it." Trump has even suggested that countries reliant on the Strait of Hormuz should "just take it" themselves. What exactly is Washington's strategy? Are these contradictions part of a strategy, or signs of a deeper lack of clarity? Can the two sides reach any deal any time soon?
