Summary
* This episode has been corrected to remove an erroneous reference to the meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi being on Wednesday. It is scheduled for Thursday, March 19.
Iran hits Tel Aviv with cluster warheads. It’s retaliation for the killing of Tehran’s security chief and powerbroker, Ali Larijani, whose death leaves a vacuum that will make de-escalation efforts tricky. The head of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, quits over the Iran war blaming Israel’s influence. And Japan’s Sanae Takaichi will have a tightrope to walk in her meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump.
