It has been a momentous two weeks in Israel, Iran, and—though to a lesser extent—the United States. In today’s podcast, I’m joined by longtime Washington-based journalist Laura Rozen.

Over the course of 40 minutes, we try to make sense of the developments of the past two weeks—what has happened, why it happened, and, as best we can, what might come next. That said, given the unpredictability of recent events, I must admit that I have little confidence in my ability to forecast what lies ahead. Laura edits The Diplomatic on Substack.
