Dear MEPIN Readers,
What is America’s greatest source of leverage against the Islamic Republic of Iran? It is the millions of Iranians who reject the regime and aspire to a different future. That is the IRGC’s greatest fear because it threatens what the regime values above all else, its own survival.
In my latest NewsNation interview, I discuss Iran’s economic warfare through the Strait of Hormuz, the regime’s reported threats against President Trump, and what the United States and its allies should do next to strengthen deterrence while increasing pressure on Tehran.
I hope you’ll watch the interview and share it with colleagues who follow the Middle East and Israel.
