Dear MEPIN Readers
Is an American strike on Iran imminent? As U.S. forces across the region shift into more defensive postures, the range of options before the President, from covert and economic measures to overt military action, presents both significant opportunities and profound risks for the United States, Israel, and the broader Middle East.
I invite you to watch my interview on Security Insider with Camelia Entekhabifard of The Independent Persian and host Calev Ben-David, where we examine in depth the strategic choices now under consideration and how they could reshape the region for decades to come
