What Trump wants with Iran

Nuclear negotiations with Iran seemed to be heading in the right direction – and then the U.S. and Israel decided it was time to strike. David Frum, staff writer for The Atlantic, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss President Trump’s approach to dealmaking and how that influenced his decision to use military force. Plus, we’ll discuss what the end goal might be, what happens if the administration doesn’t achieve that on its timeline and what the president’s tolerance for risk might mean for the future of this conflict. His article is “The Paradox of Trump’s Iran Attack.”
