About this episode

David T. Pyne discusses the escalating tensions in the Iran war and the implications for US foreign policy.

Barely able to supply its troops in the region or keeping them out of harms way, the US has struck again sites in Iran and Israel has been escalating the war against Lebanon. How long will Iran still accept the salami-slicing away of the ceasefire? At the same time, the US media claims 70 ships had been "escorted" secretly through the Strait of Hormuz. Is there any reason to believe this could be the case? David Pyne, Deputy Executive Director of the EMP Task Force, joins me to break down the newest events in the Iran war, failed ceasefire talks, Trump’s mixed signals, Israel’s influence inside Washington, the MAGA split, China tensions, and Ukraine’s slide toward collapse. Pyne argues the U.S. is overextended, running low on war supplies, and facing growing limits in every major theater.Links:David Pyne Substack The Real War: https://dpyne.substack.com X: https://x.com/AmericaFirstCon Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com (Opt in for Academic Section from your profile settings: https://pascallottaz.substack.com/s/a... )Merch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shop Donation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donate Timestamps: 00:00:00 Introduction and…
