## Resource

John Mearsheimer argues the Trump administration is trying to sell a premature Iran victory while the real nuclear dispute remains unresolved. In this Breaking Points episode with hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti, Mearsheimer explains why economic fears, oil market stability, and the risk of a wider war are driving sanctions relief and a push to end the conflict. He lays out why he believes the United States has lost, Iran has gained leverage, and Israel faces a serious strategic blow across Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank, and Syria. The conversation also explores the shrinking influence of the Israel lobby, the role of J.D. Vance in brokering a deal, and what Iran’s long-term power means for Middle East geopolitics, national security, and global markets. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
