#259 – Scott Horton: Trump Handed Iran the Region

Which war was the stupidest — Iraq War II or this new one in Iran? On the anniversary of the night George W. Bush declared victory in Iraq with the “Mission Accomplished” banner, I talk to Scott Horton about the Iran War.

Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions are lifted, enriched uranium remains in Iranian hands, the world economy is in a chokehold, and America’s relationships with its Gulf partners are fraying. Did Donald Trump just hand the region over to Tehran? And is Iran emerging as a new global power center?

Plus: For the first time in over a decade, the American right is turning on Trump.
