About this episode
On this week’s Q&A, the war in Iran takes centre stage once again. Christiane and Jamie are asked whether Iran has ever really been an existential threat to US national security, or if the regime’s threats of “Death to America” ring hollow.
Then, looking to the other major conflict of our times, they’re asked whether the continued erosion of international norms around conflicts affects Ukraine, particularly given Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin’s dynamic. Will Ukraine be pressured to concede territory, or even to step aside?
