Iran is erupting with massive protests—and the pressure for the U.S. to act is rising by the hour. But when the situation is fluid, is immediate military action strength… or a strategic mistake? In Episode 70, Steve Gibson breaks down why patience can be power.

Episode 70 tackles one of the most volatile questions in geopolitics right now: “Attack on Iran”—should the United States intervene militarily as Iran faces massive protests and reports of deadly crackdowns?

On this episode of Logic Dictate Hot Topics, host Steve Gibson argues that while public pressure and nonstop commentary demand instant action, real foreign policy decisions can’t be made “willy-nilly.” Strategy is calculated. Timing is tactical. And when negotiation signals appear, the smartest move may be restraint—not reaction.

Steve also addresses a common trap in political commentary: judging military decisions without access to the intelligence and operational context the administration has. This is a fluid situation, and Episode 70 makes the case for stepping back, analyzing the chessboard, and evaluating outcomes—rather than demanding headlines.

In this episode:
• Iran protests and global pressure to respond
• When military intervention is discussed—and when it’s strategically unsound
• Why negotiation signals change the decision tree
• The danger of instant judgment from outside the situation room
• How to evaluate a foreign-policy strategy in real time
