What's the holdup? The world thought a U.S. strike on Iran was imminent but this episode reveals why Washington is hesitating, and why that pause may be the most important decision of the decade. Through a fast, high-stakes history lesson from 1953 to Afghanistan, the show breaks down how and why American interventions succeed in the short term but repeatedly collapse in the long run. Viewers will learn the real strategic logic behind U.S. military power, the hidden dangers of toppling regimes without a “day after” plan and why Iran today could either become a decisive turning point or the start of another 30-year war.
