Leon Panetta
Former U.S. Defense Secretary
The Trump administration is sending mixed messages on the Iran war, with the president hinting at diplomatic progress while thousands of U.S. troops gather in the region. The president claims Iran has agreed to "most of" America's 15-point plan to end the war. But Iran says the plan contains "excessive" and "unreasonable" demands. Is continued escalation inevitable, or might there be a negotiated settlement? Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta joins to discuss.

When military reservists detained and assaulted a CNN team reporting on a violent Israeli settler attack against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, Israel responded with backlash. An IDF statement says the incident represents a "serious ethical and professional failure." Correspondent Jeremy Diamond was one of the journalists involved. He brings us this report on the incident and how the backlash is playing out.
Jon Lee Anderson
Staff Writer, The New Yorker
President Trump is allowing a Russian oil tanker to dock in Cuba, breaking his fuel blockade of the island. The vessel arrives amid ongoing blackouts, healthcare shortages and a pile-up of uncollected garbage. The White House has called Cuba an "extraordinary threat." The New Yorker's Jon Lee Anderson knows Cuba well, having lived and reported there for years. Anderson recently returned from a visit to the island, and joins the show to discuss the situation there.

Across the U.S., the Democrats appear to be gaining momentum. Since President Trump took office, Democrats have flipped 30 Republican-held seats in state legislatures across the country. The latest upsets happened in Florida's Tampa area and in a district that includes the president's Mar-a-Lago estate. With both parties gearing up for the midterm elections later this year, might these recent victories signal a shift in the state's deep-red politics? Analyst Susan ManManus has been keeping a close eye on the dynamics. She joins Michel Martin to discuss what she's seeing.
