Israel's Influence on Iran Policy and the Case Against War

10moments
- Tim explains his belief that Israel has too much influence on American foreign policy, clarifying he doesn't think Jews are a shadowy cabal.

- Trump barely talked about Iran and it wasn't a major issue during his presidency.
- The plan isn't just to attack missile sites but to engage in a full regime change war, which would be costly and destabilizing.
