Did We Kill the Iranian Nuke Program or Not? | EYES ON GEOPOLITICS
In this episode of "Eyes on Geopolitics," I join co-host Andy Milburn to discuss the recent U.S. bombing of Iran's nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. We delve into the efficacy of the strikes, particularly concerning the depth of Iran's centrifuges and the capabilities of the GBU-57 bunker buster bombs. Our conversation also explores the DIA assessment, which was leaked and reported on by CNN, suggesting the program was set back only by months, as well as the geopolitical implications for U.S.-Israel-Iran relations, potential Iranian blowback, the internal dynamics of the Iranian regime, and the future of nuclear negotiations.Support the show on Patreon:⬇️https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouseNew merch, patches, and stickers! ⬇️https://theteamhouse-shop.fourthwall.comFind Mick Mulroy here: Fogbow ⬇️https://fogbow.com/Lobo Institute ⬇️https://www.loboinstitute.org/Twitter ⬇️https://x.com/mickmulroy?s=21&t=-Ze3F_Ix2vlJ18KFvORTCALinkedIn ⬇️https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-patrick-mulroy-31198b52/Bluesky ⬇️https://bsky.app/profile/mickmulroy.bsky.socialMick’s publications ⬇️https://www.loboinstitute.org/publications/publications-of-michael-mick-patrick-mulroy/Find Andy Milburn here: Twitter ⬇️https://twitter.com/i/flow/login?redirect_after_login=%2Fandymilburn8LinkedIn ⬇️https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewmilburn2023Substack ⬇️https://amilburn.substack.com/Andy’s book ⬇️https://www.amazon.com/When-Tempest-Gathers-Mogadishu-OperationsBluesky ⬇️https://bsky.app/profile/andy-milburn.bsky.socialFind Jason Lyons here: LinkedIn ⬇️https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-lyons-666873316?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_appBluesky ⬇️https://bsky.app/profile/bgsilverback73.bsky.social00:00 Start & U.S. Strikes on Iran's Nuclear Sites02:26 DIA Assessment on Program Setback03:20 GBU-57 Effectiveness & Centrifuge Depth7:08: Geopolitical Timing & Strike Implications13:11 Potential Iranian Blowback22:37 Iranian Regime's Domestic Issues32:13 Future of Nuclear NegotiationsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-team-house--5960890/support.
