What could be the lasting legacy of the US-Israeli war on Iran? 

The US and India are seeking to mend ties after a year of diplomatic see-saw...tariffs imposed then quickly scrapped because of the war in Iran.

In this episode: 
Brahma Chellaney - Professor Emeritus of Strategic Studies at the Centre for Policy Research. 
Chris Weafer - Chief Executive Officer at Macro-Advisory strategic consultancy. 
Shaun Rein - Founder and Managing Director of the China Market Research Group.
