I had the great pleasure in this episode in speaking with a world-renowned expert on Iran and militant Shia groups in the Middle East - and also an old friend from my Washington DC days - Phillip Smyth, to discuss the War in Iran and where it is heading. We covered it all - what does Trump do next? What does Iran do next? Will the Houthis soon cause problems for global trade on the other side of the Arabian peninsula? What will Israel do if Trump backs off? And how do the Gulf states respond? etc. etc.We also touched upon the impact on the global economy, the impact on Ukraine from this war, and the Iranian-Russian partnership. Tune in for truly a fascinating episode.About the GuestPhillip Smyth, world-renowned expert on Shia militant groups in the Middle East, former fellow at the Washington Institute of the Near East as well as at the Atlantic Council, and currently serves on the Counterterrorism Advisory Board of Homeland Security Today.
