Trump's Grand Strategy: Iran, China & The New World Order | Kamran Bokhari

The podcast explores the potential unstated reasons behind the war with Iran, particularly focusing on China's economic interests in the region. Geopolitical analyst Kamran Bokhari suggests the U.S. strategy involves retrenchment from the Eastern Hemisphere, burden-sharing with allies, and addressing "loose ends" like the Iran conflict. The discussion highlights that both Russia and China have historically leveraged Iran to extract concessions from the U.S., but their support has limits due to their own economic and geopolitical constraints. Bokhari argues that while China's influence is a consideration, it's not the primary driver behind the U.S. move, and the U.S. aims to manage relationships with China and Russia to maintain global stability.
