Episode Details

America may have found a way to break Iran’s regime without firing another shot. After months of devastating military strikes failed to topple Tehran, the Trump administration is pivoting to what the episode describes as a far more dangerous strategy for the regime: systematically choking off the money that keeps the IRGC and government functioning. In this episode, viewers will learn why Iran’s own economic warfare may have inspired Washington’s new approach and why the real target isn’t China, despite much of the media focus. But there’s one major catch: the strategy only works if Washington is willing to follow through when the pressure, and the potential consequences, get much bigger.
