The Suleimani Fallout - with Tom Wright and Suzanne Lynch

The Irish Times World View Podcast

This week we're focussing on the fallout from the assassination by a US drone strike of Iranian General Qassem Suleimani. Thomas Wright, a senior fellow at The Brookings Institution, a Washington-based think tank, calls the killing a strategic mistake by the US in the Middle East despite the legitimacy of Suleimani as a target. And our correspondent Suzanne Lynch reports on the political fallout in Washington and the implications for the Iran nuclear deal signed by President Obama in 2015.
