Is the narrative that Iran is on the verge of collapse accurate, or are we misreading the current Middle East conflict?Dr. Trita Parsi, co-founder of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, joins us to challenge the prevailing assumptions about regional stability. We examine how conventional US foreign policy often ignores the internal foundations of state power in favor of interventionist strategies.By focusing on Iranian resilience rather than just immediate military metrics, we gain a clearer picture of the political forces shaping the future.
