Episode notes
Sanctions Intentionally Crippled Iran
- Treasury Secretary Scott Besant said U.S. sanctions created a dollar shortage that collapsed Iran's economy and sparked protests.
- DeCamp highlights the policy aimed explicitly at making "Iran broke again," stressing harm to ordinary civilians.
New START Expiration Raises Nuclear Risk
- President Trump rejected a New START extension and urged negotiation of a new treaty instead.
- Arms control experts warned the treaty's expiration removes limits on deployed strategic warheads and raises global security risks.
Rising Israeli Strikes Could Escalate Regionally
- Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon rose to their highest level since 2024, with at least 50 raids in January.
- DeCamp warns escalation could draw Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Shia militias into a wider regional conflict.
