The Middle East and Iran's Actions
The podcast discusses the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, particularly Iran's actions as it creates a shadow war against the United States. The host highlights how Iran is a unique country in the region with a well-educated middle class opposed to its government. The speaker suggests that President Biden will need to respond to the situation, potentially targeting specific leaders and groups, but also needs to be cautious due to Iran's historical opposition to foreign intervention.
