  We analyze supersymmetry breaking by anti-self-dual flux in the deformed
conifold. This theory has been argued to be a dual realization of susy breaking
by antibranes. As such, one might expect it to lead to a hierarchically small
breaking scale, but only if the warp factor is taken into account. We verify
this by explicitly computing the warp-modified moduli space metric. This leads
to a new term, with a power-like divergence at the conifold point, which lowers
the breaking scale. We finally point out various puzzles regarding the gauge
theory interpretation of these results.
