Summary

In this episode of "Eyes on Geopolitics," I join co-host Andy Milburn to discuss the recent U.S. bombing of Iran's nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. We delve into the efficacy of the strikes, particularly concerning the depth of Iran's centrifuges and the capabilities of the GBU-57 bunker buster bombs. Our conversation also explores the DIA assessment, which was leaked and reported on by CNN, suggesting the program was set back only by months, as well as the geopolitical implications for U.S.-Israel-Iran relations, potential Iranian blowback, the internal dynamics of the Iranian regime, and the future of nuclear negotiations.

0:00.0	The question is, are the Iranians going to use this, right?
0:02.9	Are they going to weaponize and use it against us?
0:05.3	And who knows?
0:06.4	I mean, there's speculation.
0:09.1	But think about this.
0:10.1	That's a finite amount of uranium.
0:12.1	It's a fair amount of uranium, but it's a finite amount anyway.
0:16.5	At this stage, especially when you are operating against two nuclear nations,
0:21.1	it would be near suicidal to load up a finite number of weapons with your remaining enriched uranium and conduct strikes.
0:33.9	The Iranians are not suicidal.
0:37.8	In fact, they are, among all our enemies, possibly the most rational of actors.
0:43.4	I mean, bar the Chinese, of course.
0:44.8	I mean, but they're very, you know, they haven't stayed in power this long
0:50.5	through doing purely crazy shit.
1:06.3	That's here. The man, the myth, the legend. Hey, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Aizontrial Politics, a special one because we missed them so much.
1:11.9	Andy Milburn's here. The man, the myth, the legend. I wanted to get his take on what went down over the weekend with, you know, the United States bombing the nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
1:29.0	Obviously, you guys know what went down, B2 bombers, 14 GBUs, you know, the big boy
1:34.1	bunker busters, and 30 tomahawks from a submarine.
1:39.4	Andy, what's going on?
