About this episode
Did President Trump just outsmart Iran or walk straight into a dangerous trap? Hosts Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev—both former advisers in the Prime Minister’s Office—break down the stunning twists in the escalating Iran crisis after Marco Rubio’s statements and President Trump’s surprise decision to pause operations in the Strait of Hormuz. Viewers will learn how America’s economic blockade is squeezing Tehran to the brink and whether Trump is executing pressure diplomacy or giving the ayatollahs precious time to regroup. The conversation explores the psychology of radical Islamist regimes, the possibility of renewed military strikes and how Middle East tensions might be clashing with U.S. domestic politics.
