Asian Insider Ep 18: US-Iran tit for tat - Will tension escalate to war?
\\n21:49 mins
\\nSynopsis: This is Asian Insider, a series by The Straits Times every week. Together with our stable of 30 correspondents based around the world, we give an Asian perspective on the global talking points of the week.
\\nIran and the United States lurched closer towards an undeclared war this week when Teheran\'s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched missiles at US-Iraqi bases in Iraq, in retaliation for the killing of IRGC Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani by the United States last week. While there remains room for de-escalation, tension between the two countries remains on a knife edge.\\xa0
\\nStraits Times US Bureau Chief explores the ramifications with Jasmine El-Gamal, senior non-resident fellow at the Atlantic Council, and Inderjeet Parmar, professor of international politics at the City, University of London.\\xa0
