Ceasefire with Iran...What's That? | EYES ON GEOPOLITICS

We break down the renewed fighting with Iran, the Strait of Hormuz crisis, and whether the U.S. has any realistic military or diplomatic path forward. We also get into NATO, Ukraine’s air defense needs, the defense industrial base, and why America keeps spending more while producing less.Support the show on Patreon:⬇️https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouseMarc's new article:https://engelsbergideas.com/author/sam-worby-marc-polymeropoulos/Subscribe to our newsletter!!!!https://teamhousepodcast.kit.com/joinJack's news outlet:⬇️https://thehighside.substack.com/Find Jon Hackett here:⬇️Jon's Twitter:https://x.com/jonathanhackettJon's LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejonathanhackettJon's books:https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0C5L659N5?ccs_id=e11a2062-f8d3-498e-bfd7-7d2f3869caf6Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejonathanhackettTwitter: https://x.com/jonathanhackettCheck out Mick's new podcast here:⬇️Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/pub-and-porch-applied-stoicism/id1836955475Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1k3QPmkAMwnGJxMLDwUSSd?si=n6piIu8XRcag1Z0K43A3bQYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@UCd0Hq6QFk8CoTu5j-VU0Ong Find Mick Mulroy here: Fogbow ⬇️https://fogbow.com/Lobo Institute ⬇️https://www.loboinstitute.org/Twitter ⬇️https://x.com/mickmulroy?s=21&t=-Ze3F_Ix2vlJ18KFvORTCALinkedIn ⬇️https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-patrick-mulroy-31198b52/Bluesky ⬇️https://bsky.app/profile/mickmulroy.bsky.socialMick’s publications ⬇️https://www.loboinstitute.org/publications/publications-of-michael-mick-patrick-mulroy/Whitefish security summit ⬇️https://whitefishsecuritysummit.comFind Marc P here:https://x.com/MpolymerFind Andy Milburn here: Twitter ⬇️https://twitter.com/i/flow/login?redirect_after_login=%2Fandymilburn8LinkedIn ⬇️https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewmilburn2023Substack ⬇️https://amilburn.substack.com/Andy’s book ⬇️https://www.amazon.com/When-Tempest-Gathers-Mogadishu-OperationsBluesky ⬇️https://bsky.app/profile/andy-milburn.bsky.social00:00 – Remembering Senator Lindsey Graham04:44 – Iran Escalates Attacks Across the Middle East07:19 – Is U.S. Deterrence Against Iran Failing?09:04 – Can Military Force Reopen the Strait of Hormuz?12:30 – Iran’s Leadership Divide and Nuclear Ambitions14:10 – What Military Options Does the U.S. Have?16:19 – The Danger of Targeting Iran’s Leadership19:09 – Iranian Threats Against President Trump21:02 – Air Force One, Security Threats, and Intelligence22:27 – What Happens With Iran After the Midterms?24:25 – Intelligence Leadership and the New DNI Confirmation Hearing25:17 – Will America’s Allies Help Against Iran?31:03 – Building an International Coalition to Pressure Iran34:06 – How a Maritime Coalition Could Isolate Iran37:43 – Bears, Bison, Moose, and Surviving Montana41:35 – Could Ukraine Produce Its Own Patriot Missiles?42:53 – Why Time May Be Running Out for Putin45:22 – Is America Running Out of Missiles?46:28 – The Pentagon’s $1 Trillion Defense Spending Problem47:52 – Why the U.S. Defense Industry Is So Slow to Innovate50:47 – Can Congress Pass the Massive Defense Budget?52:23 – The Pentagon’s “Budget Dust” Problem53:01 – Final Thoughts and ClosingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-team-house--5960890/support.
