The Arms of the Future Iran, Hamas & Palestinian Islamic Jihad
At a time when defense spending across NATO is on the rise, and conflict with Russia raises new questions of what it means to fight a truly modern war, Dr. Jack Watling examines the arms to be employed and how they can be fielded—and wielded—to survive and prevail in future wars. “Israel and Iran were not always enemies. For three decades—between Israel’s establishment in 1948 and the Iranian Revolution in 1979—they had low-profile economic and military ties. Israel was a source of weapons for Iran, and Iran was an important source of oil for Israel.” Learn more about this complex relationship and how it relates to today’s events from Daniel Levin.
