Fault Lines Episode 592: The Art of the One Pager

Today, Jess, Les, and Algene take stock of a rapidly shifting standoff with Iran. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced that Operation Epic Fury has concluded, with the U.S. moving to a more defensive posture. At the same time, Operation Freedom—aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and escorting commercial shipping—was launched and then paused within roughly a day, as reports emerged that the U.S., Iran, and Pakistan may be nearing a one-page framework for a broader deal.What do we actually know about the emerging one-page deal framework? Why hasn't Congress forced a War Powers vote after the 60-day deadline—and what does that say about political incentives on both sides? Is there still a window to shape a deal that improves conditions for the Iranian people?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.@nottvjessjones@lestermunson  @algenesajeryLike what we're doing here? Be sure to rate, review, and subscribe. And don't forget to follow @faultlines_pod and @masonnatsec on Twitter!We are also on YouTube; watch today's episode here: https://youtu.be/8ZG9MMAkr0o Hosted on Acast.
