LGM Podcast: In the Wake of the Iran Strikes
Description
</figure>Last week Dan, Cheryl and I talked through the implications of the US-Israeli strikes on Iran. Cheryl gave us a damage assessment, we worked out the domestic politics, and Dan gave some thoughts both on Trump and on the broader international implications. I talked the airpower angle, contrasting the Israeli performance with Russia’s air campaign in Ukraine. Some links of note:
- Details of the strike.
- Jeffrey Lewis on Iran’s trajectory towards a bomb.
- Ankit Panda on the flagging non-proliferation regime.
- When the cards were down, Moscow and Beijing were nowhere to be found.
- Speaking of cards, Tulsi folded like a house of them…
- Israeli success has made the Saudis nervous.

As a policy matter, I think Trump officials are smart to lie about the destruction of Iran's nuclear program to avoid being drawn further into this shit show. As a professional with a reputation to uphold, I have to point out that these statements are untrue. It's a weird time.
