How Close Are We to War With Iran?

from The Lonely Liberal · host Nick Zenkin

Trump said Operation Midnight Hammer completely and totally obliterated Iran's nuclear program. His own envoy now says Iran is a week away from bomb-making material. So which is it? Nick breaks down the full Iran story — from the 2018 JCPOA withdrawal that accelerated Iran's enrichment, to the strikes that may not have done what we were told, to Netanyahu's 30-year track record of claiming Iran is always "one week away," to the Democratic Party's stunning failure to mount a real opposition. If you listened to Episodes 32 and 33 last summer, this is the follow-up you've been waiting for. The bombs didn't solve it. Now what?
