Trump vs reality: why Iran refuses to capitulate
On today’s episode of Iran: The Latest, Roland Oliphant speaks with Danny Citrinowicz, Senior Fellow at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), about whether Trump is presenting reality in his comments on the Iran war.
Plus, they analyse how the Iran and Russia-Ukraine wars are “very close” to merging into a single global front, why US military posture is buckling in the Gulf, and how collapsing ceasefire deals in Lebanon and Gaza expose the limits of Trump’s Middle East strategy.

Trump is only interested in one thing, his God. MONEY.
