This weekend Iran launched strikes against Israel following Israeli operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Israel struck back overnight — all while a ceasefire nominally remains in place. Commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz stays suppressed, Iran continues to absorb the economic pain of a U.S. blockade, and Beirut's government grows increasingly hostile to Hezbollah's presence.</p><p><br></p><p>Does Trump have enough influence to prevent military escalation from overwhelming diplomacy? What does a deal over the Strait look like — and how realistic is it? What does a durable U.S.-Iran deal actually look like, and would Israel accept it?</p><p><br></p><p>Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.</p><p><br></p><p>@nottvjessjones</p><p>@jamil_n_jaffer</p><p>@johnclipsey</p><p><br></p><p>Like what we're doing here?&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Be sure to rate, review, and subscribe.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>And don't forget to follow @faultlines_pod and @masonnatsec on Twitter!</p><p><br></p><p>We are also on YouTube; watch today's episode here: https://youtu.be/afTXQKm2mg4</p>","author_name":"National Security Institute"}
