America bombs a terrorist group, the Houthis, who have disrupted the global economy by attacking ships along an important navigation route — that’s the headline. But the context matters, and the timing highlights perhaps a larger story: Iran. We’re joined by CEO Mark Dubowitz of the Foundation For Defense of Democracies, a nonpartisan research group focused on foreign policy and national security, who explains why he believes the present moment presents an opportunity for both America and the Iranian people for new leadership, and the stakes at play.
