What Has the Iran War Actually Achieved?
from The Lonely Liberal · host Nick Zenkin
The US entered the Iran war with four stated goals: destroy Iran's missile capabilities, destroy its navy, prevent a nuclear weapon, and defund its proxies. Two weeks in, let's actually check the scorecard. Gas prices are up 17%. The Strait of Hormuz — through which 20% of the world's oil flows — is effectively closed. Iran's new supreme leader is harder-line than the last one. And the nuclear deal? It's not just stalled. It's dead — possibly forever. We break down what the Iran war has actually achieved, and why the answer should terrify you.
