Is Trump vs Iran just a re-run of Bush’s war on Iraq?

A shock-and-awe attack on a Middle East country based on a faulty premise. No clear rationale, no exit strategy and a premature declaration of victory. Thousands of deaths with no clear end in sight. By attacking Iran, is Trump just re-running America’s disastrous 2003 invasion of Iraq? Or is this time even more poorly-planned and even worse? Dr Renad Mansour of Chatham House’s Middle East and North Africa Programme talks to Andrew Harrison about the similarities between America’s great military follies. • Read Renad Mansour on Iran and more at Chatham House . Support The Bunker at www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Andrew Harrison.
