The U.S. is at war with Iran. This week, Preet is joined by The Washington Post foreign affairs columnist David Ignatius. He breaks down the US-Israeli military operations in Iran, the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and what comes next.

Then, Preet is joined by The Atlantic staff writer Mark Leibovich to discuss his recent article, “The Democrats Aren’t Built for This” and the Tuesday primary results.

In the bonus for Insiders, Leibovich shares his thoughts on how the Iran war could shape U.S. politics. Plus, whether Democrats will flip the Senate in the upcoming midterm elections.
