“Iran Update”
with Gregg Roman

What are the implications of the failure of the U.S.–Iran Geneva talks and the ongoing U.S. military buildup in the region? Is war between the United States and Iran now inevitable—and perhaps imminent? Gregg Roman will break down the latest developments, examining what Tehran’s latest moves reveal about the regime’s strength and vulnerabilities and how Israel factors into the evolving situation. With on-the-ground intelligence and strategic knowledge, Roman will share insights in this timely update.
