Global forecaster David Murrin returns to the podcast to share his assessment of the ongoing war in Iran. David’s ability to read military conflict is genuinely rare — rooted in deep experience and an exceptional network — and while the fog of war means reasonable people will disagree, his perspective is always worth the time.
In this conversation, David tackles the questions that matter most: Were the strikes on critical infrastructure a potentially catastrophic miscalculation? How sound is US command and control at a strategic level? And what options does the Iranian regime realistically have in response to the pressure it now faces? David also makes the case for why this moment may be precisely the opening Beijing has been waiting for — and why that window could be short.
