Matthew Hoh joins the show to talk about the dangers of a war with Iran. As Biden moves towards some kind of military response to the rocket attack that left three American soldiers dead over the weekend, Hoh has been gaming out what the first week of a war between the U.S. and Iran would look like. He and Scott work through different scenarios and discuss some of the big-picture political forces that have driven us to this dangerous point.

• “What the First Week of War With Iran Could Look Like” (Antiwar.com)
• “US Plans Weeks-Long Bombing Campaign Against Iranian Targets” (Antiwar.com)
• The Reluctant Spy by John Kiriakou
• “Rudy’s Ties to a Terror Sheikh” (Village Voice)
• The Looming Tower by Lawrence Wright
• Perfect Soldiers by Terry McDermott
