About this listen

Media around the world has been engrossed with reporting, speculating, and arguing the case over the war with Iran.

While it may have been ‘out of the blue’ for many, the conflict came as no surprise to those following the developments in the Middle East.

George Friedman, Chairman and Founder of Geopolitical Futures, exploits knowledge he’s accumulated over decades, providing his opinion on why US President Donald Trump made the decision to attack Iran.

He provides the answers others can’t.

And as always, we visit the mailroom with Mrs Producer.
