The battle for the Middle East has entered a dangerous new phase.

With President Trump reinstating the blockade of Iranian shipping, vowing to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, and warning that Iran’s nuclear ambitions will not be tolerated, the question is no longer if the pressure will increase—but how far America is willing to go.

 

Erick Stakelbeck is joined by Foundation for Defense of Democracies President Cliff May and Retired Air Force Brigadier General E. John “Dragon” Teichert for an in-depth analysis of the rapidly evolving showdown with the Iranian regime.

 

Both guests deliver a clear message: Iran’s leaders understand only one language—strength. The decisions made in the coming weeks could determine not only the future of the Iranian regime but the security of the Middle East and the credibility of American deterrence around the world.

This is a timely, high-stakes conversation you won’t want to miss.
