On with Kara Swisher - Trump's Iran Strikes: Triumph, Stalemate or Setback?

<p>President Trump’s decision to bomb Iran shocked much of the world — but America’s involvement was over almost as soon as it began, and so far, it hasn’t sparked a broader war, like so many feared. </p> <p>So how did we get here? Was the bombing a success? Will the ceasefire between Israel and Iran hold? Is the regime in Iran any closer to collapsing — and if it did, would that be good? Finally, what’s the long term solution to the nuclear issue? Kara gathers a trio of experts to grapple with these questions, and more. </p> <p>Jason Rezaian is the Director of Press Freedom Initiatives and a writer for The Washington Post’s Global Opinions.
