Episode Details

Nate Swanson, a former National Security Council Iran director, accurately predicted Irans response to U.S. strikes, which included hitting energy targets and disrupting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Despite warnings, President Trump claims Irans retaliation caught everyone off guard. Both sides are dug in with overconfidence, making talks unlikely. Iran has learned to control Hormuz traffic without fully shutting it, turning it into a toll booth. The situation sets up a longer war than expected, with everyday Iranians caught in the middle.
