SummaryRobert Pape Exposes How We Underestimated Iran... | DSH #2070
Today01:07:22Summary ready| DSH #2070 What if the war with Iran is not ending, but only entering its most dangerous phase? In this Digital Social Hour episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Professor Robert Pape to discuss the Iran war, U.S. bombing strategy, regime change, drone warfare, asymmetric conflict, Israel, the Abraham Accords, escalation risk, and why he believes America has underestimated Iran’s ability to fight a long war. Professor Pape explains why he saw this conflict coming long before it became obvious to the public. He argues that the war did not begin with the latest headlines, but with earlier U.S. strikes that set the stage for a much larger confrontation. The conversation breaks down why Iran is not responding like previous U.S. adversaries, how cheap drones and asymmetric weapons have changed modern warfare, and why punishment campaigns often backfire by strengthening the enemy’s resolve. Sean and Professor Pape also discuss Trump’s maximum pressure approach, Israel’s regional position, the collapse of momentum around the Abraham Accords, the risk of a wider Middle East war, and why walking away may be politically impossible for any American president. This episode is a serious look at war, deterrence, strategy, and the dangerous gap between what Washington expects and what Iran may actually be prepared to do.
