Should the United States actively support fragmented opposition groups, and if so, how? And as Iran’s partners in Moscow and Beijing weigh their response, what are the risks of escalation, including potential disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and global energy markets?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.@lestermunson@jamil_n_jaffer@morganlroachLike what we're doing here?
