Season 2026
Episode 13
President Trump finds an off-ramp to the five-week war in Iran, but at what cost? He began the week threatening Iran's “whole civilization." But when Pakistan presented a plan to temporarily halt hostilities, Trump embraced it. Can the U.S. and Iran make a long-term deal? Compass Points moderator Nick Schifrin discusses that with Danielle Pletka, Dana Stroul, Ray Takeyh and Alex Vatanka.
