Episode description

In this BONUS EPISODE from The People’s Cabinet, Dr. Phil Gordon — former National Security Advisor to Vice President Kamala Harris, White House Coordinator for the Middle East, and Sydney Stein Jr. Scholar at Brookings — breaks down the escalating conflict between the U.S. and Iran.

We cover:

• What Iran’s government and nuclear program actually look like

• President Obama’s Iran deal (the JCPOA) and why it unraveled

• What “uranium enrichment” means and why it matters

• Israel’s role 

• Whether TACO got to Trump 

• What the U.S. was targeting with this weekend’s B-2 bomber strikes

• Whether the mission accomplished its goals — and what further retaliation may follow

• What to expect next: more strikes, diplomacy, or even broader war?

🎧 If you’re looking for a clear, credible explanation of a fast-moving conflict — start here.
