This week on Bombshell, special guest Elizabeth Rosenberg explains the art of unmaking the Iran deal and the consequences of the Trump administration's Iran 'strategy.' Foreign relations are keeping us busy with a tinderbox in Kirkuk at the worst possible time, and a new lens on the Pentagon's under-scrutinized advise and assist efforts in Africa that resulted in four soldier's killed in an ambush this month. Mattis and the White House are sending mixed signals on transparency and democratic accountability on the Hill and in the press (what else is new?). Erin, Radha, and Loren are as usual looking out for budget deals, new and potentially harmful MAVNI guidelines, and Trump appointees. And yeah. Us too.   Episode Reading:  Radha Iyengar and Rebecca Friedman Lissner, “,” War on the Rocks Angela Dewan, “,” CNN “,” BBC “,” Al Jazeera Colin Cookman, “,” Colin Cookman Sarah Polley, “,” New York Times Ilan Goldenberg and Elizabeth Rosenberg, “,” Foreign Policy Thomas Gibbons-Neff and Eric Schmitt, “,” New York Times Phillip Carter, “," Slate
