IRAN: TRUMP’S NEXT TARGET

Is the US on the verge of military intervention in Iran? Richard Fontaine, CEO of the Center for a New American Security, reveals why he believes a US strike is "likelier than not" in the coming weeks—and what Trump's Venezuela operation tells us about his appetite for regime change. In this episode of One Decision, we explore: -Why US aircraft carriers are massing in the Middle East -The "Venezuela model" – a new blueprint for intervention? -China's strategic opening as allies hedge against Trump's tariffs -China’s President Xi Jinping's shocking military purge and what it means for Taiwan -Whether Trump's foreign policy represents a permanent shift or a passing aberration With tensions escalating after Iran's crackdown on protesters and Trump's explicit threats, Fontaine offers insight into the military options now on the table. Plus: Why rushing to China won't save US allies, the AI race that's reshaping global power, and what happens when a president operates on "momentum" rather than strategy. Hosted by Kate McCann (Political Editor at Times Radio) and Sir Richard Dearlove (former MI6 Chief).
