Since the 12 Day War with Iran has paused with a ceasefire, many questions have evolved regarding the success of the war. Why is Khameini still in power? What has happened to the stockpiles of highly enriched uranium? How long will it take for the regime to rebuild its nuclear weapons facilities? What has happened to the resistance movement within Iran? How does this leave Israel and the United States, in terms of their ability to project power into the Middle East? What has happened to the Qassam Solomeini doctrine of the terror proxies, or “rings of fire” surrounding Israel?
Here to discuss this all is Alex Traiman.
