1:05:49Now PlayingDecapitation strikes. Iranian retaliation. An AI showdown at the Pentagon. Iran expert Karim Sadjadpour joins Jake and Jon to unpack the U.S.–Israel strikes that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior Iranian leaders, and to assess what Iran’s retaliation across the Middle East could mean for the next phase of the conflict. They examine Khamenei’s worldview, the succession battle now underway, the role of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, and whether the regime is more likely to fracture, harden, or consolidate.
In the final segment, Jake and Jon turn to Washington, where a standoff between Anthropic and the Pentagon over AI safeguards and defense contracts raises significant policy questions about who sets the rules for AI frontier technologies.
