Summary
We are in the second week of a war that was supposed to be over by now. Yet the world is facing soaring oil prices, rising inflation and a regime which doesn't seem ready to capitulate. While President Trump continues to threaten Iran, he faces the limits of what air power, alone, can achieve and increasing pressure at home. Recording on Day 12 of the conflict, Patrick and Tom are joined by Sir Simon Gass, former Ambassador to Tehran and Chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee, to dissect the rise of a new Iranian dynasty and the high-stakes search for an off-ramp that no one seems able to find. Hosts: General Sir Patrick Sanders and Tom Newton Dunn Guest: Sir Simon Gass Producer: Shabnam Grewal Executive producer: Fiona Leach Image: Getty Clips: War.gov Hosted on Acast.
