Special - Iran’s Strategy in This War w/ Sina Azodi

March 30, 2026

Description

Danny and Derek speak with Sina Azodi about the first month of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and why expectations of a rapid Iranian collapse have failed. They talk about the failure of expectations of a quick Iranian surrender, Iran’s asymmetric response strategy, energy and economic choke points, the influence of the IRGC, the historical context of U.S.-Iran relations, domestic political dynamics and public sentiment inside Iran, diaspora politics, and what lies ahead for Iran’s nuclear program. 

Be sure to grab a copy of Sina’s book Iran and the Bomb: The United States, Iran, and the Nuclear Question.
