Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Lt. Col. Hal Kempfer – CEO of GRIP, National Security Analyst, and host of the STRAT Podcast – about the escalating war between the United States, Israel, and Iran.

In this conversation, Kempfer breaks down the military realities on the ground, including the impact of leadership decapitation strikes, degraded Iranian command-and-control, and what air superiority could mean for the next stage of the war. He also discusses potential escalation scenarios, including unconventional threats, proxy retaliation, and the broader geopolitical implications of the conflict.

Hal also examines the economic ripple effects – from oil and shipping disruption to the role of the U.S. dollar, China’s access to energy, and why gold and silver reacted the way they did in markets during the early stages of the conflict.

In this episode:

- The military objectives of the U.S.-Israel operation in Iran

- What “ahead of schedule” could actually mean for the timeline of the war

- Whether Iran’s command structure has been crippled

- The real risks in the Strait of Hormuz and global oil markets

- Proxy threats and potential escalation scenarios

- How the conflict could impact the dollar, China, and global power dynamics

- Why gold and silver moved the way they did during the crisis
