Episode 145: An Imminent Threat from Iran?

Today on Polilogue, we look at fallout from the Iran crisis. There’s a lot to discuss—and for a second week in a row, the Trump administration sent top national security officials to all five Sunday shows. Where last week we heard from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, this week the duties were split between Defense Secretary Mark Esper and new National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien. How did they do—and how did each Sunday show approach this multi-faceted story? We divide the conversation into three major themes: What was the true nature of the threat from Iran? What’s the role of Congress in this? What will happen with Iraq?
