This is What Losing Looks Like (Iran War Update) | EYES ON GEOPOLITICS

This week we break down the collapsed ceasefire and week two of American strikes on Iran, from the deaths of US service members in Jordan to the Chinese navigation system suddenly making Iranian missiles far more accurate. We get into why the air campaign can't achieve its goals, the intelligence gaps limiting US targeting, Saudi Arabia's controversial nuclear agreement, and the vulnerability of Gulf desalination plants. The uncomfortable conclusion: Iran is going to get the bomb, ground troops aren't a real option, and this is now entirely about the Strait of Hormuz.Support the show on Patreon:⬇️https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouseSubscribe 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/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-Operations"Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio"00:00 Start02:47 Why the air campaign strategy isn't working05:03 Iranian missiles are suddenly hitting: the China GPS factor08:04 High-value assets at risk and why Hormuz is the real objective10:07 Targeting explained: why bridges, bases, and tit-for-tat strikes12:30 The Jordan strike, American deaths, and the coming US response14:49 Intel limits: what we can't hit and why17:15 Holding back cyber: saving the exquisite tools20:47 Stuxnet blowback and how Iran built its cyber capability22:57 Escalation options: Pickaxe Mountain, the Houthis, Bab el-Mandeb26:36 Saudi Arabia's balancing act and the 123 nuclear agreement29:57 "Iran will get the bomb" — accepting the new red line39:11 Mick Mulroy joins: who's feeding Iran targeting data41:19 Desalination plants as targets and the Gulf's water vulnerability50:50 What are our actual options?53:45 The ground troops question: a Vietnam-like commitment59:44 Israeli and US elections could reset everything01:03:28 Hezbollah vs. the Iraqi militias — the real threat01:07:13 Criticism, hate mail, and wrap-upBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-team-house--5960890/support.
