'Longtime DISASTER': Political science professor Robert Pape discusses war in Iran with Chris Hayes - Why Is This Happening?



There’s a lot of questions about the war in Iran. And it’s a bit unclear what exactly Trump’s strategy is. Will ground troops be deployed? Could all operations focus solely on air war?

Robert Pape is a professor of political science at the University of Chicago where he specializes in international security affairs. He also writes The Escalation Trap newsletter on Substack. He joins Chris Hayes to discuss the war in Iran, the lack of logistical consideration on the U.S. part and more.
