Analysis: The high impact (and cost) of American intervention

In the Moment features in-depth conversations on the issues that matter to South Dakotans.

The United States and Iran are trading public barbs about war.

Iran is amid a brutal crackdown on massive anti-government protests. President Donald Trump says the United States is open to a strong military intervention on behalf of the protestors.

The latest verbal conflict highlights decades-long tension between the two nations. To help understand the situation, we reached out to Tim Schorn, Ph.D. Professor Schorn leads the international studies program at the University of South Dakota.

He talked with SDPB’s Lori Walsh.

Lori Walsh is a special correspondent with SDPB and host of the "In the Moment" podcast.
