Episode Details

Two weeks into the US-Iran ceasefire, CENTCOM is requesting Dark Eagle hypersonics, the 82nd Airborne is flowing into theater, and the wargames keep telling us the same thing — there’s no military solution to the Strait of Hormuz.

Becca Wasser, America’s wargaming queen, currently with Bloomberg, joins WarTalk regulars Bryan Clark, Eric Robinson, and Justin Mc.

We discuss…

• Why CENTCOM is using JASSMs to hit targets a glide bomb could handle

• What cosplay costs the Indo-Pacific

• The myth of US air superiority over Iran, and the SEAD legwork no one wants to do

• Who actually benefits from the ceasefire and why Iran has the lower bar for reconstitution
