Friday Focus special Tuesday edition: a fragile ceasefire takes hold
Rudyard and Janice begin today’s special Friday Focus episode with the Trump initiated ceasefire that allows both Israel and Iran to claim some measure of victory. But does Trump have the power to make the truce hold? Bibi is learning that American help comes with a price, and the Israeli PM is no longer in the driver’s seat. Pulling back to look at the bigger picture, Rudyard and Janice explain how America’s involvement in this war is a game changer that has reinforced American power in the Middle East and beyond. Has this past week’s events – including the notable absence of China and Russia in this conflict – challenged the idea that we are moving into a multipolar world? Have we underestimated American power in the 21st century? And finally, how will a weakened Iranian regime respond domestically to the penetration of its military and collapse of its nuclear program?
