What will be the fallout from the US strikes in Iran?
Manage episode 490607835 series 2343952
President Trump has called recent US airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan a “success,” confirming that American aircraft have left Iranian airspace.
The strikes reportedly included the first-ever operational use of a 30,000-pound ‘bunker buster’ bomb. Phil speaks with Professor Aiden Warren from RMIT University to unpack the fallout.
How effective were the strikes—particularly at the underground Fordow site? Will Iran retaliate? Could this trigger a wider war?
And what are the political consequences for Trump, who acted without congressional approval or international support?
