The US and Iran are heading down a dangerous path after a week-long exchange of hostilities that saw both parties launch some of their most powerful strikes since the war began in late February. All eyes are now on Washington, as some warhawks push the US toward a ground invasion of Iran, especially after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Bab Al-Mandab.

All that and more in this latest episode of Good Talk, with special guest Laith Marouf.
