About this episode
The episode discusses the current state of Iran's military and the ongoing conflict in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's military has been shattered. The Strait of Hormuz remains contested. Three months in, Bill and FDD's Jon Schanzer examine why quick victories are rare, patience is scarce, and this war is entering its most consequential phase yet.
