Summary

Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, discusses Iran's information warfare tactics and the regime's current vulnerabilities. He explains how TikTok and Chinese social media manipulated narratives during the Iran conflict, and he explores the regime's weakened state following military strikes and fatal flaws in the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding. Dubowitz argues the Islamic Republic faces internal collapse, critiques Trump's negotiation strategy, and advocates for Western support of Iranian dissidents to permanently resolve regional threats.
