	Description:		Donald Trump first going all in with B2 bomber raids against Iran’s nuclear installations and then surprising allies and adversaries alike with a late Monday ceasefire announcement. All this for a victory lap at the NATO summit opening in the Netherlands? Whether it’s strategy or impulse that’s driving the US president, we’ll attempt to make sense of an operation resisted for decades by all of his predecessors including himself in his first term. Why did Israel finally get its wish of a US-backed direct confrontation with Iran? Will it reshape a region where it’s as much Israel as the United States that’s imposed its will on Tehran’s proxies and allies in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza? Who owns this one? And what does this seeming once in a generation shift in the balance of power mean for the Middle East and for the planet? Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Elisa Amiri, Ilayda Habip.
