A War With No Exit Strategy?

Five weeks into the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, U.S. President Donald Trump's first address to the nation left lots of questioned unanswered, including how the U.S. plans to end the conflict. Retired Admiral John Kirby held top communications roles at the Pentagon, National SecurityCouncil and White House and he joins the show to discuss where the war goes next. Meantime, Russia's war on Ukraine grinds on, amid mounting fears that weapons Ukraine badly needs are being diverted to the Middle East. Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba speaks to Christiane about the impact of that, and of President Trump's falling out with NATO powers. Then, the energy crisis in Cuba is growing more severe with every passing day, as the country struggles under the Trump administration's oil blockade. CNN's Patrick Oppmann speaks exclusively with the grandson of the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, who believes Havana needs to make a deal with Trump. Plus, Christiane's conversation with former White House Iran aide Gary Sick, who served in the U.S. National Security Council under Presidents Ford, Carter and Reagan. He tells Christiane why he sees Trump as a deal maker, not a history maker. And from the archive, a look back at the long fight for change in Iran. An excerpt from Christiane’s report from Tehran in 2000, when the reform phase was at its height. And finally, a sneak peek at Christiane's conversation with award-winning actor Adrien Brody. He joins Christiane alongside playwright Lindsey Ferrentino to discuss their new Broadway play "The Fear of 13."
