This podcast episode explores Iran's regional power projection strategy, delving into its motivations, means, and consequences. Iran's overarching strategy is to secure its sovereignty and counter perceived threats, primarily Israel. It achieves this through a network of allies, military and cultural dominance, and support for Palestinian militant groups like the Islamic Jihad. This involvement fuels ongoing conflicts, strains regional dynamics, and intensifies tensions between Palestinians and Israel, exacerbating the humanitarian and security challenges in the region.
