‘If there were a university delivering degrees in strategic
malpractice, Donald Trump would without a doubt graduate summa
cum laude.’

On today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Roland Oliphant gets a
damning assessment of the US-Iran war from one of America’s most
seasoned Middle East diplomats, Aaron David Miller. A former
State Department analyst and negotiator across six Republican and
Democratic administrations and now a senior fellow at the
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Miller delivers a
blunt verdict on Washington’s strategic failures.

As the Middle East conflict hits the six-month mark and the
Strait of Hormuz remains officially closed, he explains why he
can see no clear exit options for Trump. Despite Washington
unleashing an "economic D-Day" and the "toughest sanctions in
history," Tehran shows no sign of backing down.

Plus, why Secretary of State Marco Rubio is MIA and how a
“serious retrenchment” of US forces in the Gulf is likely, amid
news that some bases may not be fully rebuilt after the
war.
