In this episode of The Silk and Steel Podcast, host Carl Zha is joined by Arnaud Bertrand (French entrepreneur and geopolitical analyst) to dissect the astonishing developments in the Iran war – where Iran is not just winning tactically, but strategically reshaping the entire Middle East.The headlines are staggering: • Iran said weeks in advance: "If you hit our nuclear site at Natanz, we will hit your nuclear site at Dimona." Israel hit Natanz. Iran hit Dimona – twice. • Iran has turned the Strait of Hormuz into a tollbooth – and countries are paying • Trump is now begging China for help – and getting ignored • The US just attempted a secret special forces raid to capture Iran's nuclear material – and it appears to have been a major disaster • The official story of a "heroic rescue" of a downed pilot is falling apart – hundreds of troops, multiple transport planes, and $300 million in equipment lostWe break down: • Why this war is America's Suez Crisis – the moment the empire lost control • How Iran's tollbooth system will permanently change the security architecture of the Middle East • The failed special forces raid – and why the official story makes no sense • Why even the former CIA director says he trusts Iran more than the Trump administration • The USS Ford "laundry room fire" – Trump himself blew the cover story • How Europe is fracturing from the US – and why French kids now hate America • Why Atlanticism is dead – and what comes next for EuropePlus: The BBC's insane propaganda (then quietly deleted), why the Iranians are winning the social media war, and the one thing that could force Trump to back down.Arnaud Bertrand is a French entrepreneur and geopolitical analyst.
