Donald Trump's administration has ramped up its threats against Iran, saying that if Iran threatens the U.S. ever again, Iran will suffer consequences which have never been suffered throughout history. Is this a distraction for Trump from his domestic troubles or is he along with Israel angling for a military strike against Iran? Our guest is Middle East expert Phyllis Bennis.
