IRAN IS CONTROLLING THIS WAR - Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatowsk On Iran War

Podcast cover

Mario Nawfal

The podcast analyzes the escalating conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, focusing on the potential for further escalation and miscalculations. It highlights the risk of the U.S. military being unprepared for modern warfare tactics employed by Iran, such as drone swarms and missile attacks, as well as the potential for the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and its impact on global oil markets and the Gulf states. The discussion also covers the precarious position of Israel, its potential desperation, and the implications of a wider conflict, including the possibility of Israel using nuclear weapons. The speakers explore the broken trust between the U.S. and its allies in the Gulf, and the limited off-ramps for Trump.
