President Donald Trump has gathered his national security advisors in the Situation Room as he considers his next move. While Trump says he does not want the Supreme Leader killed, Israel’s defense minister is now openly calling for his removal following a missile strike on a hospital in southern Israel — a strike that left at least 40 people wounded and caused extensive damage. Meanwhile, Israeli forces have carried out new strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, including a heavy water reactor. Now, there is growing concern that the U.S. could be pulled into a wider war. Arms control experts are warning that a direct U.S. strike could severely impact global security. Alex Vatanka, Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute, joins to discuss where this conflict is headed, how Iran might respond if the U.S. becomes directly involved, and how Iranian citizens are reacting to this conflict.
