Anthony Aguilar: Why Everything You Knew About the Middle East Just Collapsed
About this episode
Former US military officer critiques the US-Iran war strategy, arguing conflict lacks clear objectives and was based on intuition over intelligence. Covers controversial Minab school strike, Iran's asymmetric drone warfare depleting Western air defenses, and disputed Isfahan special ops raid. With US missile stocks strained and NATO allies distancing, military victory seems elusive. Analysis emphasizes diplomacy as only viable exit, warning escalation risks prolonged conflict without political gains. Key point: you cannot militarily defeat a 'desire,' and maximalist demands block negotiated settlements.
