The legacy of the Iraq war in the US-Iran conflict - British Politics and Policy at LSE The recent bombing of Iran by the US brought to the surface questions that echo the Iraq war: the politicisation of intelligence, the UK-US "special relationship", and the limits of international law.

My new piece for @LSEpoliticsblog Looking at the legacy of Iraq in the current US-Iran conflict and the UK approach to the conflict

After years of calling for an end to forever wars, Trump’s Iran strikes are splitting his supporters over America’s role in the world | USAPP Trump’s strikes are a challenge for his administration’s foreign policy narratives.

Trump's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and apparent willingness to get even more involved in the Middle East has started a split in the MAGA-verse. Here's my take on why this is emerging and what it means #Trump #Iran

Great to speak to @france24.com about #Trump and #Meloni meeting to discuss the #TrumpTariffs #Meloni has taken role of EU-US
bridge, and #Trump admin seems receptive, but looks unlikely it will result in anything. She did avoid potential pitfall on Russia Ukraine
