Summary
President Trump has given numerous reasons for America's war on Iran. But if a clear objective cannot be defined, can that war be won? Admiral James 'Sandy' Winnefeld is a former vice-chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff. Until last year he headed the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, overseeing planning for American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. He joins Tom and Patrick to talk US tactics, Iranian response and a possible end-game. Hosts: General Sir Patrick Sanders and Tom Newton Dunn Guest: Admiral James 'Sandy' Winnefeld Producer: Shabnam Grewal Executive producer: Fiona Leach Image: Getty Clips: Whitehouse.gov, Reuters, USA Today, @WION.
