About this episode
Host Maxwell Slate delivers a sobering breakdown of Operation Epic Fury, the joint U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran now in its second week, with eight American service members confirmed dead and Iranian missile barrages targeting multiple nations across the Middle East. The episode covers Iran's naming of Mojtaba Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader following his father's death in the initial strikes, the destruction of critical missile defense systems including a $300 million THAAD radar in Jordan, and the intense Congressional debate over war powers authorization that narrowly passed 219-212. With oil prices surging past $100 per barrel and no viable exit strategy in sight, Maxwell examines what this escalating conflict means for American interests, constitutional safeguards, and the families already grieving losses in a war that was never formally declared.Loved this episode?
