Episode Details

Donald Trump again threatened war this weekend, and there are reasons to believe he means this time.

But does he know what he’s in for? In today’s podcast, I discuss the inventive ways that Iran has fended off the US attacks and pressure, a creativity born of both new weapons of warfare and Iran’s unique geography.

Lots of fun stuff in the latest edition, including AI-generated depictions of battles and speculation over who could have been behind a recent attack on the United Arab Emirates sole nuclear power plant. Plus a recent interview with me and professor Ibrahim Al-Marashi about the changing nature of warfare on South Era Networks.
