U.S. Military Strategy and Global Perspectives on Iran's Nuclear Facilities

With the U.S. on the cusp of potentially joining Israel’s fight against Iran, foreign policy experts in Washington are scrambling to game out the various scenarios. And as POLITICO senior foreign affairs correspondent and Compass columnist Nahal Toosi tells Playbook author Jack Blanchard, the options available to Trump and the possible outcomes from them aren’t simply black and white; they exist along a spectrum ranging from arming Israel for a single, targeted strike on an Iranian nuclear facility, to a more sweeping and wide-scale involvement. In the balance: the security of the Middle East, the political viability of Trump’s MAGA coalition and the futures of millions of everyday people in Iran. Nahal talks us through her reporting and the stakes.
