How the Israel-Iran-US War Forever Changed the Middle East

Will the ceasefire between Israel and Iran actually hold? How might Iran respond to the unprecedented American attacks on its nuclear program? And more broadly, how have events over the last two weeks  changed the entire security dynamic of the Middle East? I'm privileged to bring you a conversation with one of the foremost experts on these questions. Dalia Dassa Kaye is a senior fellow at the UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations and author of the forthcoming book Enduring Hostility: The Making of America's Iran Policy, which will be published in December. We kick off by discussing the events of the last few days before having a deeper conversation about Israel's strategic calculus moving forward, Iran's options for retaliating against the United States, and whether the American bombing of Iran may have traded short-term gains for a long-term disaster. https://www.globaldispatches.org/40PercentOff Or, support the show at full price:  https://www.globaldispatches.org/
