    Susan Glasser interviews her old pal Fiona Hill, who you might remember because she's the former national security official with an English accent who testified against Trump during his first impeachment trial. The New Yorker Political Scene appears to be on a summer hiatus, so they've apparently pre-recorded this and other interviews to roll out around their favorite subjects while Glasser, Evan Osnos and Jane Mayer soak up the sun at their respective beach homes.

    The hosts of the political scene explore the motivations behind Israel's decision to launch strikes on Iran's nuclear sites and how Iran and the U.S. might respond. We also travel back in time to 2023 to hear the crew's reflections on the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2023 to see any possible indication that the lessons they have learned from covering that atrocity are making their way into their contemporary analysis of U.S. foreign policy (don't get your hopes up).
