Trump Demands Compensation From Iran | Balance of Power: Late Edition 08/10/2026
Context
"Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today's show, Heather Conley, Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, says dwindling targets and munitions are limiting President Donald Trump's options on Iran as hardliners in Tehran toughen their position. Miriam Vogel, president and CEO of EqualAI and co-author of Governing the Machine, says Congress has the power to establish guardrails and accountability frameworks for companies using artificial intelligence as increasingly autonomous systems raise questions about human oversight. Former US Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette says Iran's ability to control traffic through the Strait of Hormuz gives Tehran powerful leverage, arguing that control of the waterway is "in fact, a nuclear weapon."
