Why are we at war with Iran? | The Gray Area

What the hell just happened in Iran? The US launched an attack last weekend, and within hours, the explanations were already shifting. Is this regime change? Will it be a few days? A few months? Several years? By the time you’re listening to this, the situation may have moved again. So this is a quick, emergency TGAF about where things currently stand. Sean calls up Wall Street Journal national security reporter Alex Ward to walk through what we actually know, what we don’t, and what could come next. They talk about the risk of regional escalation, the “break it and walk away” strategy, and why the range of possible outcomes right now is…uncomfortably wide. Host: Sean Illing (@SeanIlling) Guest: Alexander Ward (@alexbward) 0:54 Why did America strike Iran? 4:53 Was there evidence of an imminent threat? 12:40 It’s “wartime jazz” 19:05 What would regional war mean? 32:42 What is Alex Ward keeping an eye on?
