Iran–US Ceasefire Deal: Is It Legit? | EYES ON GEOPOLITICS

from The Team House · host dee takos

The guys break down the proposed Iran ceasefire extension, the Strait of Hormuz crisis, frozen assets, sanctions relief, and whether the war actually left the U.S. or the Iranian people better off. They also dig into Gulf security concerns, Israel and Hezbollah, the political backlash from Iran hawks, and what the conflict means for U.S. military posture in the Pacific.The episode then shifts to Cuba, Tulsi Gabbard’s resignation, the future of ODNI, and Russia’s massive strike on Kyiv — including Ukraine’s air defense performance, Russian hypersonic weapons, and the lack of a strong U.S. response.GhostBed ⬇️https://www.ghostbed.com/teamFOR 10% off! Support the show on Patreon:⬇️https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouseSubscribe to our newsletter!!!!https://teamhousepodcast.kit.com/joinAndy's new article:⬇️https://warontherocks.com/the-operational-case-against-israels-gaza-campaign/Jack'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.socialFind Jason Lyons here: LinkedIn ⬇️https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-lyons-666873316?uBluesky ⬇️https://bsky.app/profile/bgsilverback73.bsky.social"Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio00:00 — Start / Memorial Day, sacrifices, and the Eyes On crew checks in02:17 — Iran ceasefire extension, Strait of Hormuz, and the proposed MOU04:28 — What the U.S. and Iran actually appear to have agreed to06:44 — Sanctions relief, frozen assets, and the political backlash from Iran hawks09:19 — Did the Iran war actually leave America better off?11:20 — Iran’s economy, IRGC resilience, and pressure on ordinary Iranians13:13 — Gulf states, UAE concerns, and regional support for a ceasefire15:52 — Lebanon, Hezbollah, Israel, and unresolved ceasefire complications18:31 — How the Gulf may rethink security after the Iran war20:27 — Strait of Hormuz tolls, mines, insurance rates, and reopening risks23:29 — Highly enriched uranium, verbal commitments, and Trump’s political problem27:21 — Did the U.S. misunderstand the political reality of the war?29:25 — U.S. military strain, carrier deployments, and risk in the Pacific31:04 — China, Taiwan, and shifting attention toward Cuba33:01 — Cuba sanctions, regime pressure, and possible U.S. military options39:32 — Rubio, Vance, 2028 politics, and the MAGA succession fight45:30 — Tulsi Gabbard resigns and the future of ODNI48:32 — Russia’s massive strike on Kyiv and Ukraine’s deep-strike momentum49:31 — Ukraine’s air defenses, Russian hypersonics, and civilian resilience56:56 — U.S. silence on Russia’s attack and Europe’s role going forwardBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-team-house--5960890/support.
