Israel’s strikes against Iran early Friday morning killed Iran’s most senior military official and the commander-in-chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as two nuclear scientists. Karim Sadjadpour, Carnegie Endowment senior fellow of the Middle East Program, discusses Iran’s military strategy and the future of its nuclear program. From Brookings, director of foreign policy research Michael O’Hanlon unpacks Israel’s capabilities, Iran’s appetite for retaliation, and whether the United States should be prepared for an attack on American assets. Plus, NBC’s Matt Bradley reports on the ground in Tel Aviv, and RBC’s Helima Croft discusses the impact regional conflict has on global energy markets.
