Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The U.S.-Iran War with Arman Mahmoudian
Q: What about Iran's strategy and leadership prospects after this war?
Iranal strategy emphasizes endurance and preserving the regime, with potential leadership transitions in Iran possibly strengthening the IRGC and shifting internal power dynamics, while the regime remains vigilant about external threats and nuclear considerations as a long-term deterrent.
The U.S.-Iran War with Arman Mahmoudian
Q: So what is the US strategy in this conflict, and how has it evolved over time?
The host and guest discuss how the US initially pursued a shock-oriented, regime-change approach, but with mixed results and changing perceptions over time, the strategy shifting toward pressing for concessions through sustained pressure rather than an outright quick victory.
General (Ret) Nick Carter on the Future of War
Q: Like, is there a character of warfare? If so, is it tied to a specific conflict? Is it a generational thing?
There are persistent characteristics of warfare that evolve with context, but core principles like find, fix, and strike remain; adaptability and the context of each conflict shape the character.
Special Iran Update: Joe Funderburke & 'We Bombed the Wrong Target'
Q: What does success look like, and what happens if Iran's leadership does not cooperate as hoped?
Success needs clear, communicated objectives and milestones beyond televised bombings; if Iran's leadership remains or if a different leadership takes over, the administration must have a plan to sustain international support and avoid a perpetual war, rather than claiming victory prematurely.
Special Iran Update: Joe Funderburke & 'We Bombed the Wrong Target'
Q: What is the U.S.'s strategy in this war with Iran?
The guest argues that the actual strategy should focus on eliminating Iran's proxy network as the center of gravity, building a broad coalition, and developing a robust human network to penetrate and disrupt these proxies, rather than relying mainly on kinetic strikes.
