In two interviews appearing on local TV stations, Furman University’s Brent Nelsen offers his insights before and after the two-week ceasefire in the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran. On WYFF News 4, Nelsen, the Jane Fishburne Hipp Professor of Politics and International Affairs, talks about the threatening, “unprecedented” rhetoric from the White House concerning the Iran-controlled Strait of Hormuz. And later, on FOX Carolina, Nelsen comments on Tuesday’s ceasefire with Iran. He lays out best-case and worst-case scenarios for the Trump administration ahead of midterm elections.
