Dear MEPIN Readers,
Watch my interview on ILTV, where we discuss several critical questions shaping the next phase of the conflict:
- Is the President searching for an exit ramp with Iran, or is he prepared to engage in what could become a prolonged war of attrition with the IRGC?
- Is this the moment for a decisive Israeli ground operation in Lebanon—and is there any realistic chance the Lebanese Armed Forces would confront Hezbollah?
- What is Iran’s broader strategy as we enter the next stage of the war?
- Is the newly appointed Supreme Leader effectively a puppet of the IRGC?
- How should the U.S. respond to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, threatening global energy markets?
Here are my comments from the interview:
