Summary

Tonight, we’re confronting a terrifying possibility. Are we on the brink of war with Iran? Escalating rhetoric and military posturing have raised real concerns that a broader conflict could be imminent. So much for talk of peace. What would war mean for the United States, for the region, and for everyday Americans already stretched thin? Is this brinkmanship, or are we watching the early stages of something far more dangerous? And is there still a path to de-escalation? We’re joined by security expert Miles Taylor and writer for The Atlantic Tom Nichols to break down what we know, what we don’t, and what’s at stake. 🍋 This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
