About this episode
The US is now bombing Iranian targets, via B1 bombers that have to be flown direct from Texas to perform the task.
This is an interesting new form of madness.
As the West is pulled ever-deeper into the quagmire, we're taking a low road/high road approach to prediction: attempting to model the potential for serious conflict right up to an Iraq-style land war invasion.
Then, we're devoting the second half of the show to thinking more strategically, about the future of the region, the prospects for shutting the Strait of Hormuz, and the potential strategic cards the West has left.

This week is a Premium Week - every month, we offer our Patrons an exclusive special edition. Our chat with Malcom went on for 1h40, so we've decided to offer the free listeners the first 40 minutes.
If you'd like to hear the full whack, including Malcom's thoughts on the potential for Iranian sleeper cells to perform sabotage operations in Europe and America, please do sign up.
It's $5/£5/€5 a month, and you can cancel any time.
Hell, at this point, you could probably just pay your fiver, go in there, binge on all the previous premium eps, and exfiltrate the very next day. If you were so inclined.
