On Israel Update, Michael Doran and Zineb Riboua discuss the war in Iran and President Donald Trump’s decision to target Iranian shipping. They say it is unlikely that the Islamic Republic’s military dictatorship can survive for much longer. Riboua provides an analysis of the China angle of the war and why Viktor Orbán’s defeat in Hungary matters.
