Episode Details

Robert Malley, a key figure in the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal, has called out President Trump for exaggerating the impact of US strikes on Iran. Trump claimed to have crippled Irans nuclear program, military, and even sparked regime change, but Malley dismisses these claims as unfounded. The war began due to alleged imminent nuclear threats from Iran, leading to US strikes that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other key leaders. However, his son Mojtaba has taken over as the new supreme leader, potentially complicating matters. The war has caused global economic turmoil, with Iran choking oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has blamed the Biden administration for leaving America vulnerable, but his stance on the old nuclear deal and Irans nuclear capabilities is inconsistent. Malley warns against further attacks, citing potential war crimes and Irans growing leverage in the region. The conflict is far from resolved, with hardliners entrenched and costs mounting worldwide.
