Episode 358 - Sunday SITREP #61

Author: Austin Diehl March 1, 2026 Duration: 43:39

Rolling into March we have a whole lot to talk about, as news breaks of the United States and partner nations launching attacks against Iran. While this has been something of much speculation over the past months, it has now become a reality, with impacts that I believe we are all to feel in more than one way. From the economic impacts, the influence to the country via media channels, and more, there is a lot that we can expect to see and experience. As always with the SITREP episodes, I do my best to try and connect the dots with a current event, and past events to create a more full pictures of what's going on, and share my predictions on what may be yet to come. Certainly a ton of speculation in this edition, as we can do little more but sit, and wait.
