Erin Molan speaks with Elliott Abrams, one of the most experienced U.S. foreign-policy hands of the last four decades
Abrams has advised Presidents Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump, serving at the highest levels of government on some of the most consequential decisions involving Iran, the Middle East, and U.S. national security.
In this wide-ranging and unfiltered conversation, he breaks down:
Whether the U.S. is edging closer to a direct confrontation with Iran
Why bluffing on the world stage can be dangerous
The risks of a “nuclear-only” Iran deal
What a collapse of the Iranian regime would mean for the Middle East — and the world
Why Iran’s actions matter far beyond the region, from terrorism to global stability
What the international community should be doing right now for the Iranian people
