104: The Iran war isn’t over

About this episode

This episode explains why the Iran war isn't over and discusses its implications for Israel and the future of warfare.

Everyone’s asking who won. That’s the wrong question. This episode explains why the war isn’t over -- and what the real lessons of this conflict mean for Israel, Iran, and the future of war. -- This episode was sponsored by an anonymous sponsor in honor of all those we lost on October 7 and in the ensuing years of war. -- If you like what we do here, please consider joining our Patreon community at https://www.patreon.com/c/AskHavivAnything.
