The U.S. Should Absolutely NOT Go to War with Iran

As tensions with Iran escalate and President Trump claims “total control of the skies” over Iranian territory, the U.S. appears to be inching closer to direct military conflict. In this bonus episode, I make the case for why that would be a catastrophic mistake, strategically and economically. We break down the recent timeline of Israeli airstrikes, Iranian retaliation, and Trump’s veiled threats toward Iran’s Supreme Leader. Then we ask the fundamental question no one seems to be answering: What’s the plan? Because without one, we’re risking a war with no clear objective, no exit strategy, and devastating global consequences. Topics covered: The cost of war — in lives and trillions of dollars Why Iran isn’t Iraq: the scale, complexity, and consequences Economic blowback: oil prices, inflation, and global instability Why diplomacy and restraint are smarter than firepower This is a moment that demands clarity, not bravado. The U.S. shouldn’t go to war with Iran — and in this episode, I explain exactly why.
