Where Does Trump's Bombing Leave Israel, Iran and the US? | The Ezra Klein Show

Ezra Klein interviews Aaron David Miller about the recent U.S. and Israeli bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. Miller discusses Israel's increased military dominance in the region and how Trump capitalized on it, despite lacking a coherent Middle East strategy. They explore the potential long-term consequences, what Israel and Iran want, and whether this marks a "new Middle East." Miller expresses skepticism about transformative change due to a lack of effective leadership and the region's inherent instability. They debate whether the bombing served U.S. national interests, considering counterterrorism, access to hydrocarbons, and preventing a nuclear-armed regional power. Miller ultimately questions the operation's success and emphasizes the complexities and uncertainties of the region.
