Tim Hwang is joined by Middle East Institute senior fellow Mohammed Soliman to chat about his new book, West Asia: A New American Grand Strategy in the Middle East. We cover: why the Indo-Pacific may be America’s most important strategic theater, whether diverse international partnerships will be enough to balance Chinese and Russian power in the region, how we keep getting sucked into quagmires in the Middle East, and whether the fact that the U.S. didn’t open the Strait of Hormuz by force is a blackpill on our military capacity.
