## Resource

Andrew Cuomo interviews Medal of Honor recipient Jack Jacobs to analyze the volatile geopolitical tensions between the United States, Israel, and Iran. The discussion highlights a cyclical pattern of conflict where Iran utilizes proxy groups like Hezbollah to exert leverage, complicating diplomatic resolutions and threatening the security of international shipping straits. Jacobs argues that a true settlement is unlikely because Iran benefits from the ongoing instability and maintains significant control over the situation's duration. Learn more about your ad choices.
