Episode Notes:

On Monday, President Trump signed an executive order imposing additional economic sanctions on Iran in retaliation for the downing of a U.S. drone last week. This follows on the heels of a U.S. cyber attack targeting Iranian backed operations associated with the Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Aaron Stein, Director of the Middle East Program at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, joins the WarCast to discuss the events and examine the current U.S. approach.
