EXTRA: Trump bombs Iran, backs Israel, and takes a massive gamble
About this episode
Despite all of the claims he made that he was not be a president of war, Donald Trump has now rolled the dice, striking Iran’s nuclear sites. Above all, it is a massive show of support for Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. Whilst it might have caused massive damage to Iran's nuclear program, it’s a move that could ignite a regional firestorm, set a worrying precedent in how countries engage in conflict and send oil prices through the roof.
Gregg Carlstrom, Middle East Correspondent with The Economist joins Tabitha Monahan to discuss what might come next after a troubling 2 days for international relations.
