Скачать или смотреть EP 007 - Iran: The Protest Pause, Not the End

In this episode of Threat & Theory, we examine the unrest inside Iran through the lens of military posture, strategic readiness, and missed windows of action. Retired Naval Intelligence Officer Captain Howard Hart breaks down why the apparent pause in protests does not signal regime legitimacy, and why the real story lies in what happened during the crackdown, not after it. The conversation explores the human cost of the uprising, the limits of managed risk in CENTCOM, the absence of U.S. carrier presence during a critical moment, and how force posture shapes political outcomes. From aircraft carriers and national security strategy to internal regime fractures that never fully materialized, this episode makes clear: Iran remains volatile, unresolved, and far from stable, and the last chapter has not yet been written.
