President Trump called NYT’s David Sanger directly to talk about the Iran deal. He shares with us what he learned from those conversations and what he's watching next.
From Venezuela to the Middle East, the Trump administration has not hesitated to use force. But even the world’s most powerful military has its limits.
"Once you start a conflict, you don't always end it on your terms," Council Vice President of Research on Security and Defense Ariane Tabatabai tells The Daily Blast podcast.
The recent strikes could complicate US efforts to negotiate a deal with Tehran, Council President and CEO Leslie Vinjamuri tells CNN. "This sort of escalatory violence, if there's a return to that, it gets that much more difficult."
Ariane Tabatabai, the Council's vice president of research for security and defense, joins Chicago Tonight to discuss the latest on the war, Iran's nuclear program, and more.
"This war has allowed Iran to test its strategy and operational capabilities, giving the regime an opportunity to adjust them to strengthen its resistance capacity," Ariane Tabatabai, Council senior fellow on the Middle East, and Madison Rinder write.
"The picture that is being painted . . . is one where the United States is giving a lot more to Iran and is receiving a lot less in return," Ariane Tabatabai, Council senior fellow on the Middle East, tells NPR.
