The conflict between Iran and the United States–Israel alliance is entering a dangerous new phase — and things are not going according to plan.

In this Geopolity podcast, we break down how Iran has managed to resist a global superpower, the strategic mistakes shaping the conflict, and why regime change in Tehran is far less likely than many in Washington assume.

From the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and its impact on global energy markets, to Iran’s asymmetric warfare strategy and internal political structure, this episode explores the deeper forces shaping the war — including the roles of Russia and China, the fragility of the petrodollar system, and the uncertain future of Israel.
