Now or Nuclear: Iran and the Threat of Islamist Terror

Deskripsi

The ongoing US-Israeli strikes on Iran come after a protracted period of tension, negotiations and military build-up. The U.S. has claimed, on one hand, that the strikes are intended to prevent Iran from creating nuclear weapons. So why is the U.S. obsessed with the idea of a nuclear Iran? In this clip from our recent Talking Geopolitics episode, host Christian Smith is joined by GPF Chairman George Friedman to discuss how negotiations failed, why Israel and the U.S. really went in to strike Iran and why they chose now to do it.
