Author, international security expert, and DePaul University history professor Dr. Thomas Mockaitis joins Jon Hansen, filling in for Lisa Dent, to discuss the ongoing war with Iran. “It’s become very clear,” Dr. Mockaitis explains, “the administration was not prepared for this.” He goes on to explain how Iran was prepared for a potential large scale attack.
