Dear MEPIN Readers,
We are living through a historic and highly consequential moment for Israel, America, and the Middle East.
I was interviewed on ILTV to discuss the latest developments surrounding the U.S.–Israel strike on Iran — what led to this moment, why it happened now, and what may come next.
In addition, I had a private one-on-one conversation with Iran International, one of the leading opposition-aligned media outlets, in which we examined internal dynamics in Iran and the broader implications for the regime and the protest movement.
In these discussions, I address:
- What is unfolding inside Iran — and how opposition voices are responding
- Why these actions align with U.S. national security interests
- The critical differences between today’s strike and past U.S. actions in Iraq
- Why a strategic window of opportunity exists now
- The potential regional and global consequences moving forward
This is a pivotal moment with long-term implications for Iran, Israel, the United States, and the broader Middle East.
Watch the full interview here. Best, Eric
