Military Dilemmas: U.S. Intervention in Iran

President Donald Trump is unexpectedly back in Washington today, cutting his G7 trip short amid a spiraling situation with Iran. Yesterday, Trump made an ominous Truth Social post suggesting “everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran” — words that immediately provoked a fiery response from some of his usual supporters, who see the threat of such foreign interventionism as a betrayal of his “America first” ethos. Now, he faces one of the biggest dilemmas of his presidency: Should the U.S. back Israel in attacking Iran? And if so, to what extent? The implications are enormous — for the U.S., for the world and for Trump’s political project. Chief Playbook correspondent Dasha Burns and author Jack Blanchard talk it all, what they’re hearing and what to expect in the days ahead.
