Apr 25, 2026 - Toni Nissi (Lebanese Civil War Veteran) - Witnessed the Rise of Hezbollah

Gen Audino's Comments: How wars are actually won. Why did the US halt combat operations in Iran when it had the upper hand? Will negotiations with Iran ever satisfy our main objective?Special Guest: Toni Nissi is an on-the-ground veteran of the battlefields of the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990), and he saw the birth and rise of Hezbollah with his own two eyes! He joins us from Lebanon to talk all things Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Iran. He and Gen Audino also discuss how Tehran gradually co-opted, undermined, and then gained control of significant portions of Lebanon (a process/technique known as the Lebanon Model). Lastly, Toni gives his predictions on what's going to happen next in Iran and Lebanon.
