On today’s episode of Iran: The Latest, Sophia Yan is joined by
Middle East scholar Vali Nasr to assess the state of the conflict
as it hits the six-month mark. They discuss why Washington’s
security umbrella in the Gulf is collapsing, how US naval
exhaustion is forcing warships to retreat to Asia, and why China
stands to emerge as the ultimate winner of the war.

Plus, why Israel and Turkey could be heading toward a new
frontline in Syria, and what will come of the diplomatic flurry
occurring between Gulf countries, as the Qatari Prime Minister
makes his way to Tehran for further talks?
