Global Dispatches -- World News That Matters

How the US Bombing of Iran May Split the Republican Party


Listen Later

Donald Trump's decision to bomb Iran lays bare a major rift within Republican foreign policy. Until recently, the more isolationist "America First" wing seemed ascendant, sidelining the hawks. But that dynamic decisively shifted on Saturday when Trump ordered American strikes on several targets in Iran

My guest today is Andrew Prokop of Vox, who recently wrote a deep dive into the GOP's foreign policy divide.

We also discuss the potential domestic fallout of dragging the U.S. into another Middle East war.
