Podcast Episode Summary

The U.S. has long pursued what some call "diplomatic coercion" to persuade Iran to halt its nuclear program. Economic sanctions and international isolation are centerpieces of that strategy.

Diane and her guests will talk about the likelihood of an Israeli attack and the possible consequences.
