## Resource

The war with Iran could soon enter its next phase. President Donald Trump is threatening crippling strikes against the country’s critical infrastructure, including its energy sectors. The Iranian regime says that if this happens, it will retaliate. And as this unfolds, Trump is also not ruling out the possibility of sending in ground forces. We’ll discuss these topics and others in this episode of Crossroads.
