About this listen

On this episode of One Decision In Brief, guest host Rosanna Lockwood and Sir Richard Dearlove, former head of MI6, unpack the shifting landscape of U.S. foreign policy on Greenland and Iran. Rosanna questions whether the United States is abandoning 75 years of post-war foreign policy in favor of a return to regional hegemony and balance-of-power politics reminiscent of the pre-World War II era. Sir Richard outlines Greenland’s strategic importance, highlighting its critical geographic position between North America, Russia, and China, and addresses the controversy surrounding Trump’s comments about full ownership of the island. The discussion then shifts to Iran, as protests intensify and the regime comes under economic pressure. Sir Richard examines Iran’s vulnerabilities and argues that internal divisions within its security forces will more likely determine the regime’s future than U.S. involvement.
