Episode notes
U.S. Risks in Iran Conflict
- The major risk with U.S. involvement in Israel-Iran tensions is a large-scale urban bombing campaign causing massive civilian casualties.
- Claims about Iran's nuclear program lack solid evidence, and fears of World War III are currently overstated.
No Evidence for U.S. Proxy Arming
- Despite speculation, there is no current evidence the U.S. is arming proxy Kurdish groups for land warfare in Iran.
- Some circulated photos of separatist groups are outdated and do not reflect the current situation.
Misleading Signs of War
- Common myths like Pentagon pizza orders or lobster served at bases signal imminent war are inaccurate.
- Current military movements suggest air support, not full-scale ground invasion of Iran.
