Mike Baker and Stephen Yates on Iran Strikes and China
Former CIA officer Mike Baker and analyst Stephen Yates discuss the geopolitical fallout of recent strikes in Iran. They argue the operations demonstrated American stealth technology and intelligence precision, effectively "putting a pin" in the narrative of Chinese global dominance. The discussion explores the "multipolar world" concept and how China's energy dependence on the Gulf limits its ability to support Iranian escalations.
