Will the U.S. Go to War With Iran? — with Karim Sadjadpour

Carnegie Endowment's Karim Sadjadpour on the US-Iran confrontation: this may be the Islamic Republic's weakest moment in decades, but regime change rarely unfolds the way outsiders expect. Covers whether military action is imminent, what a strike would accomplish, and the gap between what Washington wants and what's achievable. Nuanced, expert-level analysis that avoids both hawkish and dovish simplifications.
