America and Israel at Odds? The Iran War Rift Explained

America and Israel at Odds? The Iran War Rift Explained

Are America and Israel heading toward a strategic collision over Iran? Michael Smerconish speaks with Dr. Thomas Wright of the Brookings Institution about growing tensions between Washington and Jerusalem as the war with Iran escalates. Is Prime Minister Netanyahu seeking regime change while President Trump looks for a quick “mission accomplished” exit? And what happens if oil prices spike, regional instability spreads, or Iran simply waits out U.S. patience? They discuss whether regime change is even possible from the air, how economic fallout could shape Trump’s decision-making, and whether the National Security Council has planned for “day two.” Listen to this provocative, nonpartisan look at America’s next foreign policy crossroads, and then rate, review and share this podcast!
