Iran–US Ceasefire Deal: Is It Legit? | EYES ON GEOPOLITICS

MAY 25, 202665 MIN

Description

The guys break down the proposed Iran ceasefire extension, the Strait of Hormuz crisis, frozen assets, sanctions relief, and whether the war actually left the U.S. or the Iranian people better off. They also dig into Gulf security concerns, Israel and Hezbollah, the political backlash from Iran hawks, and what the conflict means for U.S. military posture in the Pacific.<br />The episode then shifts to Cuba, Tulsi Gabbard’s resignation, the future of ODNI, and Russia’s massive strike on Kyiv — including Ukraine’s air defense performance, Russian hypersonic weapons, and the lack of a strong U.S. response.<br />GhostBed ⬇️<br />https://www.ghostbed.com/team<br />FOR 10% off! <br />Support the show on Patreon:⬇️<br />https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouse<br />Subscribe to our newsletter!!!!<br />https://teamhousepodcast.kit.com/join<br />Andy's new article:⬇️<br />https://warontherocks.com/the-operational-case-against-israels-gaza-campaign/<br />Jack's news outlet:⬇️<br />https://thehighside.substack.com/<br />Find Jon Hackett here:⬇️<br />Jon's Twitter:<br />https://x.com/jonathanhackett<br />Jon's LinkedIn:<br />https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejonathanhackett<br />Jon's books:<br />https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0C5L659N5?ccs_id=e11a2062-f8d3-498e-bfd7-7d2f3869caf6<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejonathanhackett<br />Twitter: https://x.com/jonathanhackett<br />Check out Mick's new podcast here:⬇️<br />Apple Podcasts:<br />https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/pub-and-porch-applied-stoicism/id1836955475<br />Spotify:<br />https://open.spotify.com/show/1k3QPmkAMwnGJxMLDwUSSd?si=n6piIu8XRcag1Z0K43A3bQ<br />Youtube:<br />https://www.youtube.com/@UCd0Hq6QFk8CoTu5j-VU0Ong <br />Find Mick Mulroy here: <br />Fogbow ⬇️<br />https://fogbow.com/<br />Lobo Institute ⬇️<br />https://www.loboinstitute.org/<br />Twitter ⬇️<br />https://x.com/mickmulroy?s=21&amp;t=-Ze3F_Ix2vlJ18KFvORTCA<br />LinkedIn ⬇️<br />https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-patrick-mulroy-31198b52/<br />Bluesky ⬇️<br />https://bsky.app/profile/mickmulroy.bsky.social<br />Mick’s publications ⬇️<br />https://www.loboinstitute.org/publications/publications-of-michael-mick-patrick-mulroy/<br />Whitefish security summit ⬇️<br />https://whitefishsecuritysummit.com<br />Find Marc P here:<br />https://x.com/Mpolymer<br />Find Andy Milburn here: <br />Twitter ⬇️<br />https://twitter.com/i/flow/login?redirect_after_login=%2Fandymilburn8<br />LinkedIn ⬇️<br />https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewmilburn2023<br />Substack ⬇️<br />https://amilburn.substack.com/<br />Andy’s book ⬇️<br />https://www.amazon.com/When-Tempest-Gathers-Mogadishu-Operations<br />Bluesky ⬇️<br />https://bsky.app/profile/andy-milburn.bsky.social<br />Find Jason Lyons here: <br />LinkedIn ⬇️<br />https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-lyons-666873316?u<br />Bluesky ⬇️<br />https://bsky.app/profile/bgsilverback73.bsky.social<br />"Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio<br />00:00 — Start / Memorial Day, sacrifices, and the Eyes On crew checks in<br />02:17 — Iran ceasefire extension, Strait of Hormuz, and the proposed MOU<br />04:28 — What the U.S. and Iran actually appear to have agreed to<br />06:44 — Sanctions relief, frozen assets, and the political backlash from Iran hawks<br />09:19 — Did the Iran war actually leave America better off?<br />11:20 — Iran’s economy, IRGC resilience, and pressure on ordinary Iranians<br />13:13 — Gulf states, UAE concerns, and regional support for a ceasefire<br />15:52 — Lebanon, Hezbollah, Israel, and unresolved ceasefire complications<br />18:31 — How the Gulf may rethink security after the Iran war<br />20:27 — Strait of Hormuz tolls, mines, insurance rates, and reopening risks<br />23:29 — Highly enriched uranium, verbal commitments, and Trump’s political problem<br />27:21 — Did the U.S. misunderstand the political reality of the war?<br />29:25 — U.S. military strain, carrier deployments, and risk in the Pacific<br />31:04 — China, Taiwan, and shifting attention toward Cuba<br />33:01 — Cuba sanctions, regime pressure, and possible U.S. military options<br />39:32 — Rubio, Vance, 2028 politics, and the MAGA succession fight<br />45:30 — Tulsi Gabbard resigns and the future of ODNI<br />48:32 — Russia’s massive strike on Kyiv and Ukraine’s deep-strike momentum<br />49:31 — Ukraine’s air defenses, Russian hypersonics, and civilian resilience<br />56:56 — U.S. silence on Russia’s attack and Europe’s role going forward<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-team-house--5960890/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-team-house--5960890/support</a>.
