'They’ve got a plan': Expert says US, Israel misread Iran’s strength
About this episode
Iran is warning against US ground invasion as regional leaders ramp up diplomatic efforts.
It comes as the USS Tripoli – carrying 3,500 US service members – arrived in the Middle East at the weekend.
It’s all while Pakistan said it is prepared to host US-Iran talks after meeting with foreign ministers from Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
But, what are the chances of peace in the Middle East? How do we achieve it? And, how long will this war last?
Today on The Front Page, University of Otago Peace Studies professor Richard Jackson is with us to take us through the latest, and what could happen next.
