Episode description
After slaughtering tens of thousands during a nationwide internet blackout — the bloodiest crackdown in the Islamic Republic’s history — the regime still stands.
President Trump now has three options: negotiate, strike, or wait.
Is this the moment to help finish what the 12-Day War started? Or would U.S. intervention only prolong the Long War?
Can this regime fall without a true revolution — and how much blood would that require?
Bill Roggio and Behnam Ben Taleblu convene for a hard debate over whether Washington should help precipitate Tehran’s collapse — or stay out of it.
