Trump joins Israel's war in Iran
Days into the Iran-Israel war, the United States has carried out a series of limited strikes centered on three Iranian nuclear sites. U.S. President Donald Trump has referred to the strikes as a "spectacular military success" and the Israeli government has made clear there was "full co-ordination" on the operation.
Iranian officials claim to have removed enriched uranium from the facilities before they were bombed.
Negar Mortazavi is a Senior Fellow at the Center for International Policy, and the Host of the Iran Podcast. She joins the show to discuss the American strikes on Iran and whether this escalation from Trump was about addressing Iran's nuclear capability, clearing a pathway to regime change, or something else.
