In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer to break down the Iran conflict, the real state of the battlefield, and the bigger strategic stakes the media keeps ignoring.  This conversation goes beyond the usual headlines and empty pundit talking points. It examines whether the United States is succeeding militarily, why political end goals matter more than tactical wins, who may actually be in charge inside Iran, and how energy, regional power, and global influence all shape what comes next.  What You\u2019ll Learn  Why defining victory in the Iran conflict is essential before the media defines failure&amp;nbsp; How military success and political success are not the same thing in modern warfare&amp;nbsp; What internal fractures between the IRGC and the Iranian Army could mean for the future of Iran&amp;nbsp; Why America has strategic blind spots when it comes to asymmetric warfare, including drones and urban warfare&amp;nbsp; How oil, global power, and U.S. leverage factor into the broader geopolitical endgame&amp;nbsp;   If you want a serious conversation about strategy, realism, and what victory should actually look like, this episode delivers the analysis the legacy media refuses to provide.  \ud83d\udcf2 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.
