·15 min·1 clip

Military analyst Matthias Wasinger explains why the war against Iran's Mullah regime is becoming more commonplace and dangerously misjudged.

The episode is an interview format where host Isabelle Daniel questions military analyst Colonel Matthias Wasinger on the ongoing conflict with Iran. It opens with questions about whether the war is becoming commonplace and if Donald Trump misjudged the situation. Wasinger explains that while military campaigns have been successful, such as taking out 40 key regime figures, clear political goals are lacking. He discusses Iran's weapons capabilities, noting they have more than assumed, including ballistic missiles and drones. A key point is Iran's hidden enriched uranium, which was not destroyed as previously claimed. Wasinger describes how Iran modified Khorram Shah 4 missiles by reducing payloads and adding second stages from space research to potentially target Europe, though not in series production. The conversation shifts to regional dynamics, with Saudi Arabia and the Emirates considering joining the war against Iran. Wasinger references Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman comparing the Mullah regime to Hitler and seeing a historical chance for regime change. He notes the complexity if Islamic countries ally with Israel against Iran, recalling past tensions during Desert Storm. The interview concludes with Wasinger assessing that Israel is unlikely to withdraw and Saudi active entry is currently improbable. The episode provides a technical and geopolitical analysis of the conflict's current state and future risks.
