## Resource

As U.S. forces move closer to Iran, it appears more and more likely that the Trump administration is planning military action against the country for the second time in a year. Matt Kibbe is joined by Cato research fellow Jon Hoffman to discuss why the president has turned his back on his campaign promises not to start any new wars, why open conflict with Iran would be a disaster for the U.S., and why the wishes of the Israeli government seem to be more important than putting America first.
