No March on Tehran: The Military Logic of the Iran War (feat. John Spencer)
About this episode
Mark Dubowitz and John Spencer discuss the military strategy behind the Iran War and the implications of dismantling Iran's war machine.
No tanks. No invasion. No march on Tehran. Instead: a methodical campaign to dismantle Iran’s war machine — missiles, drones, command networks, and the economy keeping it all alive. But can you break a regime by breaking the system that sustains it? Urban warfare expert John Spencer joins Mark Dubowitz to unpack the real logic of this war — from the “neurological” battlefield to the fight over Hormuz — and what victory actually looks like when there’s no surrender to sign.
