In this episode we peel back the layers of one of the 21st century’s most urgent and misunderstood security dilemmas: Iran’s nuclear ambitions. From uranium enrichment in hidden bunkers to geopolitical chess matches in Vienna, we explore why what happens in Iran’s nuclear facilities doesn’t stay in the Middle East. You’ll learn how a decades-long cycle of diplomacy, sabotage, and proxy warfare has blurred the line between regional crisis and global threat. We examine the deep ideological roots of Iran’s nuclear program, the collapse of the JCPOA, and how rising tensions with Israel, the U.S., and the Gulf States have brought the world closer to a nuclear tipping point.
