  1. Iran–US Ceasefire Deal: Is It Legit? | EYES ON GEOPOLITICS

    16 HR AGO

    Iran–US Ceasefire Deal: Is It Legit? | EYES ON GEOPOLITICS

    The guys break down the proposed Iran ceasefire extension, the Strait of Hormuz crisis, frozen assets, sanctions relief, and whether the war actually left the U.S. or the Iranian people better off. They also dig into Gulf security concerns, Israel and Hezbollah, the political backlash from Iran hawks, and what the conflict means for U.S. military posture in the Pacific. The episode then shifts to Cuba, Tulsi Gabbard’s resignation, the future of ODNI, and Russia’s massive strike on Kyiv — including Ukraine’s air defense performance, Russian hypersonic weapons, and the lack of a strong U.S. response.

Brittany also talks about burnout, leaving the agency to focus on family, her work supporting Afghan women, and how those experiences shaped her spy novels The Syndicate Spy and The Patriot’s Daughter.

The episode also covers Ukraine’s growing edge against Russia, drone warfare lessons the West still needs to absorb, and Iran’s internet control through “white SIM cards” and regime-monitored access.

    Former Navy SEAL Joe Taverner joins us to discuss his career from joining the Navy before 9/11 to deployments in the Philippines, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the fight against ISIS. He breaks down hunting Abu Sayyaf in Zamboanga, working with Polish GROM in Baghdad, the Battle of Najaf, and the 2016 Battle of Tel Skuf where Charlie Keating was killed in action. This episode also covers leadership after loss, how the SEAL Teams evolved during the GWOT, and Joe’s current work in directed energy weapons, laser defense, and counter-drone technology. https://www.aureliussystems.com/ Today's Sponsor: Quince⬇️ go to: https://www.quince.com/house for free shipping and 365 day returns  GhostBed ⬇️ https://www.ghostbed.com/house FOR 10% off!  Blue Chew ⬇️ https://bluechew.com/ Get 1 month free when you buy 2 of BlueChew Gold with code "HOUSECALL" For ad free video and audio and access to live streams and Eyes On Geopolitics...JOIN OUR PATREON!  https://www.patreon.com/c/TheTeamHouse To help support the show and for all bonus content including: -live shows and asking guest questions  -ad free audio and video -early access to shows -Access to ALL bonus segments with our guests Subscribe to our Patreon! ⬇️ https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouse Support the show here:⬇️ https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouse ___________________________________________________ PRE ORDER JACK'S NEW BOOK "THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN"  ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/803651/the-most-dangerous-man-by-jack-murphy/paperback/ Subscribe to the new EYES ON podcast here:⬇️ https://www.youtube.com/@EyesOnGeopoliticsPod/featured __________________________________ Jack Murphy's new book "We Defy: The Lost Chapters of Special Forces History" ⬇️ https://www.amazon.com/We-Defy-Chapters-Special-History-ebook/dp/B0DCGC1N1N/ —————————————————————— Or make a one time donation at: ⬇️ https://ko-fi.com/theteamhouse Social Media: ⬇️ The Team House Instagram: https://instagram.com/the.team.house?utm_medium=copy_link The Team House Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheTeamHousePod Jack’s Instagram: https://instagram.com/jackmcmurph?utm_medium=copy_link Jack’s Twitter:  https://twitter.com/jackmurphyrgr?s=21 Team House Discord: ⬇️ https://discord.gg/wHFHYM6 "Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio" 00:00 — Start 01:08 — Joining the Navy in 1999 and choosing the SEAL Teams 03:31 — 9/11 during workups and the war becoming real 05:31 — First deployment: the Philippines, Zamboanga, and Abu Sayyaf 10:27 — Hunting Abu Sabaya and the boat interdiction mission 13:24 — From pre-9/11 FID missions to real combat deployments 16:41 — Iraq 2004: working with Polish GROM in Baghdad 19:46 — The Battle of Najaf and fighting through urban combat 24:04 — Iraq 2007: Haditha, partner forces, and the SEAL Teams evolving 31:10 — Afghanistan 2009: Khost, partner forces, and the CIA base attack 36:08 — Afghanistan 2014: the Tangi Valley, firefights, and tribal realities 40:12 — Iraq 2016: Mosul, ISIS, and the Battle of Tel Skuf 48:43 — Charlie Keating killed in action and the medevac under fire 51:13 — Leading after loss: keeping the platoon focused after Charlie’s death 01:04:52 — Transitioning out of the military and finding the next mission 01:07:13 — Directed energy weapons, laser defense, and the future of counter-drone warfare 01:20:31 — TBI, veteran recovery programs, Home Base, and closing thoughts Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-team-house--5960890/support.
