Description:
Carl Zha sits down with geopolitical analyst Einar Tangen to examine the rapidly escalating confrontation between the United States, Israel, and Iran—and why the conflict may have entered a phase that no country can fully control.
Using the famous "Three-Body Problem" as a framework, Einar argues that Washington, Tehran, and Tel Aviv are locked in a geopolitical system where every move creates new and unpredictable consequences.
The discussion explores:
Why recent diplomacy with Iran was unlikely to succeed
The strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz
How energy, shipping, and global supply chains could be disrupted
Why military escalation may leave every side worse off
Trump's political calculations and the pressure of domestic politics
What prolonged instability means for the future of U.S.-China competition
