The Iranian Long Game (Guest Brian T. Kennedy)

Brian T. Kennedy, president of the American Strategy Group, chairman of the Committee on the Present Danger: China, and a board member and senior fellow of the Claremont Institute, shares his expertise on the Iranian threat and the motivations behind Iran's recent actions and the implications of China's involvement. Brian explains how Iran's strategy is to play a long game, aiming to weaken the United States militarily and create a worldwide cataclysm, while China sees the conflict as an opportunity to further its own interests and distract the U.S. from its own domestic issues. The discussion also touches on the importance of Israel in the region and how its relationship with the U.S. is crucial in defending against common enemies like Iran. Seth and Brian highlight the dangers of a lack of understanding about the nature of the threat posed by Iran and the importance of recognizing Israel's role as a strategic asset for the U.S.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
