In this first part of his conversation with Jacob Heilbrunn, Daniel Runde, Senior Adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and Contributor to The National Interest, delivers a clear and provocative assessment of America’s confrontation with Iran. He explains why he supports President Trump’s course, why he sees this moment as a historic opportunity, and why a shift in Iran, Venezuela and Cuba could mark a major turning point in U.S. foreign policy. Runde also addresses the political risks at home, the vote in Congress, Republican hesitation, the impact of the war on the 2026 midterms, and the danger of soaring oil prices if hostilities escalate in the Gulf. A sharp, timely and wide-ranging exchange to watch in this video interview.
