Summary

Today on the show, one month of war with Iran. Iran has rejected President Trump's 15-point peace plan to end the war. At the center of the proposed deal is Iran's nuclear program. Fareed speaks with Rafael Grossi, head of the IAEA, about Iran’s potential to rebuild their nuclear capabilities following the ongoing bombardment, and how a deal might be reached. Then, as President Trump dispatches thousands of additional troops to the Middle East, Fareed talks to Ret. Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling about where the war is headed. Later, there are perhaps no more enthusiastic supporters of regime change in Iran than the Iranians living outside of the country. Fareed asks Iranian American journalist Azadeh Moaveni about the politics of the large and vocal diaspora. Finally, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta lost two landmark court cases this week, as juries found some social media platforms liable for addicting or harming kids. Fareed asks founder of the Center for Humane Technology Tristan Harris if there will be a real reckoning for tech giants.
