Q&A US-Israel Alliance War on Iran

from IslamPodcasts.com · host islampodcasts

In this episode of Geopolitical Horizons, we take your questions as the US-Israel alliance war on Iran passes 10 weeks. We break down the reality behind the headlines. Why hasn’t Iran collapsed? Has the US strategy failed? And what does this war reveal about the future of global power? We explore the questions we have received from the failed decapitation strategy to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and from Israel’s influence on US policy to the role of China, Russia, and regional powers. This isn’t just a war in the Middle East — it’s a test of the global order.
