About this listen

In this episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, host April Moss interviews Lee Smith on the escalating tensions with Iran and the broader geopolitical implications for the United States. As military assets move into the Middle East and negotiations unfold, Smith explains why Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs pose a threat not only to regional stability, but to global energy markets and American national security.

The conversation also examines Iran’s alliance with China and what weakening Tehran could mean for Beijing’s long-term strategy. From the Strait of Hormuz to sleeper cell threats inside the United States, this episode explores how the Iran crisis fits into a larger global chessboard where energy, power, and great power competition collide.
