Trump Is Wrong About Iran Again

For this brand-new episode, we're looking at the US-Iran conflict, where President Trump seems to be misleading the world again. Negotiations that were reportedly making "significant progress" were exposed as a mere "facade" when the US and Israel launched strikes that have now dragged into a second month . The administration is projecting the war as controlled, but the evidence suggests a different story—one of mounting casualties, damaged US assets, and a conflict that risks spiraling beyond control . And as for Trump's claim that "very strong talks" are happening now? This appears to be a political attempt to engineer an exit from a war that has proven deeply unpopular and strategically costly . With Iran still capable of disrupting the Strait of Hormuz, the question isn't just about the next military step but about the severe economic and diplomatic fallout that will define this conflict for years to come .Guest Info: Dr. Vali Kaleji is an expert in regional studies, Central Asia, and Caucasian studies based in Tehran, Iran.
