Yossi's Path: Reconciliation and Confrontation

On Saturday, the United States and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran, killing supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top Iranian officials. In the following days, Iran retaliated with attacks against US bases in neighboring countries, and three US planes were shot down in Kuwait. Mike Cosper sits down with journalist Yossi Klein Halevi to understand what this military action means for the quest for peace in the broader Middle East, and Mike and Clarissa discuss the uncertainty and tensions Americans carry as the nation heads to war.
