Turkey in a Middle East at war

The panel analyzes the implications of the U.S.-led war against Iran, focusing on its domestic political risks for President Trump and its broader regional impact. Panelists discuss the lack of a clear "theory of victory" and the potential for the conflict to backfire, strengthening hardliners within the Iranian regime. The conversation explores the risks of prematurely ending the conflict, the vulnerability of Gulf countries, and the strain on U.S. alliances, particularly concerning Ukraine. The panel also examines Turkey's complex position, balancing its relationship with both the U.S. and Iran, and the potential for escalating tensions between Turkey and Israel.
