## Resource

Analyze the escalating crisis in the Middle East. Despite claims of internal collapse, massive funeral processions in Iran show overwhelming national unity against foreign aggression. Meanwhile, the US continues a dangerous military buildup—deploying A-10s to Jordan, expanding forces in Lebanon, and establishing bases in Gaza—signaling a return to kinetic conflict over the Strait of Hormuz. We also uncover the grim reality of Gaza's forced displacement, failing diplomacy, and rising tensions between NATO ally Turkey and the US-Israel alliance. With new defense laws binding the US and Israel closer, the region is on the brink of a broader global conflict. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
