The U.S. is now at war with Iran — and in this episode, we break down how we got here, why it happened now, and what could come next.
We react in real time to the opening phase of the conflict, from the shock of direct U.S. involvement to the strategic questions already emerging: the Strait of Hormuz, oil disruption, Iran’s missile and drone strategy, regime change talk, and the possibility of a much wider regional war.
They also dig into the shifting justifications for the conflict, whether this was really about nuclear weapons, how Israel may have shaped the timing, and why the endgame still looks dangerously unclear.
