## Resource

The U.S. is bombing Iran with shifting goals, a new hardline supreme leader, acid rain over Tehran, and a War Powers vote that just failed in Congress, and nobody in charge seems to know what winning actually looks like. Seena and Travis break down the moving target of war objectives, profile Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, and trace the growing fractures inside MAGA over a war Trump swore he'd never start. This is the episode that connects the dots between a rudderless military campaign and the domestic political fallout nobody's fully reckoning with yet.
