This Isn’t Going the Way Trump Thought. Vali Nasr on Iran’s War Strategy
As Israel expands its war on Iran and U.S. officials float the possibility of American boots on the ground, what is really happening behind the headlines?
Iran expert at Johns Hopkins Vali Nasr joins Rania Khalek to explain:
- Why Iran prepared for decapitation strikes
- Why “regime collapse” is far from guaranteed
- How global oil supplies “have become a battlefield”
- Why Trump may already be looking for an off-ramp
- The growing divide between U.S. and Israeli war goals
- The chances this conflict could spiral into something far bigger
Nasr argues that Iran’s strategy isn’t to win quickly. It’s to make the war long, costly, and politically dangerous for Washington.
If this is the “last battle” for Iran’s leadership, what does that mean for the region — and for the global economy?
