## Resource

The economic crunch from the Iran blockade is the biggest and most powerful financial weapon we’ve ever tried, and it just might work. For the moment, President Trump is content to let the blockade inflict its punishment on Iran for the foreseeable future, perhaps as long as it takes to just bring them to their unconditional knees. With General Jack Keane, Vice Adm. Robert Harward, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Liz Peek, Caroline Downey, and Sen. Tim Scott. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
