Episode description

Is the US on the verge of military intervention in Iran? Richard Fontaine, CEO of the Center for a New American Security, reveals why he believes a US strike is "likelier than not" in the coming weeks—and what Trump's Venezuela operation tells us about his appetite for regime change.

In this episode of One Decision, we explore:

  • Why US aircraft carriers are massing in the Middle East

  • The "Venezuela model" – a new blueprint for intervention?

  • China's strategic opening as allies hedge against Trump's tariffs

  • China’s President Xi Jinping's shocking military purge and what it means for Taiwan

  • Whether Trump's foreign policy represents a permanent shift or a passing aberration

Hosted by Kate McCann (Political Editor at Times Radio) and Sir Richard Dearlove (former MI6 Chief).
