U.S. & Israel Strike Iran – What Happens Next? | Office Hours

Description

In this Office Hours, recorded from Abu Dhabi following reports that the United States and Israel have struck Iranian infrastructure, Roy analyzes what this moment represents — and what could come next. He argues that targeting state infrastructure rather than the governing regime risks repeating the mistakes of Iraq in 2003, and notes that Iran has spent decades preparing hardened, tunnel-based military assets for precisely this scenario. The discussion covers Iranian retaliation against U.S. bases across the region, warnings about the Strait of Hormuz, and how even a short disruption could shock global oil supply. They question whether external strikes genuinely help the Iranian people, examine possible political motivations inside the United States, and assess Israel’s capacity for sustained conflict. Roy warns that prolonged bombing could consolidate domestic support for the regime rather than weaken it. More broadly, the episode explores whether this conflict signals a deeper unraveling of Pax Americana — and how a world increasingly tolerant of territorial aggression raises the risk of catastrophic miscalculation. ~~~ 🔉 Dr. Roy Casagranda Podcast 🔉 Podcast Spotify ▶ https://open.spotify.com/show/6aebF9BEErbbiTLEHEyV6z Apple Podcast ▶ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-roy-casagranda-podcast/id1837193563 ~~~ Chapters 00:00 Emergency Office Hours 00:37 U.S. & Israel Strike Iran 00:59 State vs. Government — Why It Matters 04:24 Iran’s Prepared Retaliation 06:00 Strait of Hormuz and Oil Shock Risk 09:06 Does This Help the Iranian People? 12:24 Political Motives and Distraction 15:46 Endgame and America’s War Record 17:46 If the Conflict Drags On 21:32 The Unraveling of Pax Americana 24:42 Imperialism and WWIII Risk 27:22 Chaos Theory and Historical Miscalculation 30:30 Closing Reflections 33:25 Wrap Up #Iran #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #USForeignPolicy #GlobalConflict ~~~ © Dr. Roy Casagranda – All Rights Reserved.
