Did the Iran war change anything?
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
By the end of the day on Wednesday, the tenuous ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. was already being tested.
Israel continued to bomb Lebanon heavily, and Iran attacked Gulf countries. There was confusion over whether the Strait of Hormuz was open or not.
And then there are the larger questions. What was the real cost of this war? Who came out on top?
Today on the show The Economist geopolitics editor David Rennie is here. He also talks about the shape of this deal and whether it resolves any of the big issues that existed before the fighting started.
