Trump’s gamble in Iran
from Post Reports · host The Washington Post
Over the weekend, President Donald Trump ordered strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities. His proxies insisted this was a simple one-and-done mission. But on social media Trump raised the prospect of regime change in Tehran. Today on “Post Reports,” we hear from White House reporter Natalie Allison about how Trump made this decision and the divisions it is causing among his MAGA base. Plus, military reporter Alex Horton explains the operation and the consequences we could feel for years to come. Today’s show was produced by Laura Benshoff and Emma Talkoff. It was edited by Maggie Penman and mixed by Sam Bair. Thank you to Andy DeGrandpre.
