Is the U.S. headed toward military conflict with Iran?

The discussion centers on the potential for military conflict with Iran, examining the contradictions in Trump administration rhetoric and the motivations behind the U.S. military buildup. David Sanger, White House and national security correspondent, highlights that Iran's nuclear program, while a concern, may not be the most immediate nuclear threat compared to China and Russia. Sanger points out inconsistencies in the Trump administration's justifications for military action, including conflicting statements about the state of Iran's nuclear capabilities. The conversation also explores the unconventional diplomatic channels being used, led by figures like Jared Kushner and Steve Whitkoff, and the potential conflicts of interest involved. Ultimately, the discussion weighs the best and worst-case scenarios of military intervention, considering the potential for wider regional conflict and the internal dynamics within Iran.
