Robert A. Pape is a University of Chicago political scientist and director of the Chicago Project on Security and Threats. Since the 2026 U.S.-Iran war began, he has tracked it through his Substack, The Escalation Trap, and interviews. Drawing on two decades of modeling the bombing of Iran, he argues that decapitation strikes failed to break the regime and have locked Washington into escalation.
Tomorrow, he is returning to the show to discuss the latest in the Iran war: what’s happening on the ground, the Strait of Hormuz, the impact on the global economy, and the Trump administration.
